Hamilton/Burlington Ontario, & Niagara Peninsula

We have two roads that pass traffic from Burlington to Hamilton that do not force traffic to be route around the Hamilton Harbour. These roads travel on a isthmus with a water route to pass ships from Lake Ontario into Hamilton Harbour.

The QEW has a high level bridge that goes up and over this waterway

Eastport Drive and Lakeshore Road, come together to cross over the waterway via a lift bridge. This lift bridge could be up for 20+ minutes to pass ship traffic in and out of Hamilton Harbour

This is a real headache if you don't know it is up.

In the Niagara Peninsula we have the Welland Canal running between lake Ontario and Lake Erie. There are four lift/swing bridges crossing this canal.

We need to have a trigger that any wazer can trigger to let us know the bridge is open, and a similar trigger for any wazer to report it no longer open.

I can understand that is a no priority option to 99% of the wazers, but to the 1 % it is very important to allow them to select a an alternate route. Once you arrive at the bridge you are now stuck in a line of traffic

I would consider this much more important than reporting a car parked off the side of the road
