The investigation into the circumstances that led to the incident at the Rainbow Bridge remains ongoing by United States (US) law enforcement officials.
The incident resulted in the closure of the Rainbow Bridge and the other border crossings in Niagara. US officials are currently in the process of re-opening the Peace Bridge (Fort Erie, ON. / Buffalo NY.), The Whirlpool Bridge (Niagara Falls, ON. / Niagara Falls, NY.) and the Queenston – Lewiston Bridge (Niagara on the Lake ON. / Lewiston NY.)
There is no current timeline for when the Rainbow Bridge (Niagara Falls, ON. / Niagara Falls, NY.) will re-open.
