The Canadian governments have invested $287 million (about $218 in U.S. dollars) for Canadian/U.S. Border projects that are intended to ease traffic congestion and increase the flow of trade and tourism in both directions.

This funding, which is part of the total $646 million ($491 million in U.S. dollars) allocated by Canada and the United States, is intended for the Southern Ontario border crossings. This includes a special lane for pre-cleared commercial drivers at the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge at Queenston, Ontario and a dedicated lane on Highway 405 for pre-cleared drivers traveling to the bridge.
The funding also will include improving the Queen Elizabeth Way, which is the principle trade corridor to four major Canada-U.S. border crossings and improving the access to the Blue Water Bridge at Point Edward, Ontario, which is Canada’s second busiest truck border crossing.
