The toll increase — the first in five years — reflects our commitment to keeping the vital link between Canada, Akwesasne, and the USA safe and operational. As a crucial artery for the communities, the bridge facilitates access to schools, hospitals, and allows families and friends to stay connected. SIBC understands the importance of the Three Nations Bridge Crossing and remains dedicated to maintaining and enhancing the safety and reliability of this critical infrastructure.
The Seaway International Bridge’s toll rates will also begin to undergo semi-annual assessments of their U.S. currency equivalents starting this year. This approach to toll rate adjustments is consistent with other international bridges, where tolls are regularly evaluated and modified based on economic conditions and currency exchange rate fluctuations.
SIBC remains transparent about its operations and the necessity of the toll increase. The community’s understanding and support are invaluable as we strive to maintain the high standard of safety and service that users expect and deserve.
