I don't think so. More like, it's a major artery on both sides of the
river. The New York Thruway must dump thousands of people onto those
bridges every day. (The main bridge doesn't even go through Niagara.)

When I was stuck on that bridge, it seemed to me to be mostly trucks.

I was impressed by how smart and friendly the customs guys were, on
both sides of the border. Stupidly I neglected to bring my passport,
having grown up in the era when all you needed to cross the border was
a driver's license. But nobody asked for it!

Doesn't sound as if you were "hassled". Just caught in traffic.

There's a lot of truck traffic at the Calais/St. Stephen border crossing,
too, but with no major highways, no where near as much as at the major
crossings. Of course, there's only one or two customs booths open at a
time, so the lines can get long. (And there's a little used crossing a few
miles away, NOT known by the tourists, that we use when the main crossing
backs up).
