Grand Island is the quickest route to get to Niagara Falls or Lewiston. Many residents of Grand Island, NY must take the North and South Grand Island Bridge several times a day. The only other routes to avoid paying the tolls of Grand Island are to take the Niagara Scenic Parkway, formerly known at the Robert Moses Expressway to Niagara Falls Boulevard or the Niagara Expressway (RT-265) that runs parallel with the Niagara River in Erie and Niagara County.
This route is referred to as Military Road by residents. This route is significant because you can avoid tolls, but at a drastically reduced speed, if you take Military from Buffalo through Black Rock, Riverside, the village of Kenmore, the town and city of Tonawanda, North Tonawanda, Wheatfield, Niagara Falls, and Lewiston.
Grand Island connects Tonawanda to Niagara Falls. An interesting piece of history about the bridge is the fact that the former Sheriff of Erie County, Frank J. Offerman – and the previous owner of the Buffalo Bisons (triple-A Baseball team in Buffalo, NY) – was very active in getting the southbound Grand Island Bridge sanctioned. The southbound bridge became part of NY 324 by 1937. New York State assumed ownership of the bridge in 1950 as part of Niagara Thruway’s construction.
In the past, drivers would slow down upon entering the toll booths for Grand Island. However, in March of 2018, the toll booths were removed and only cashless billing is available via E-Z Pass or call-in or mail-in system. With the toll booths removed, traffic flows more freely and speeds on the island are increased to 65 mph from the standard 55 mph on the 190 North and South. The decrease in speed occurs before the Northbound and Southbound bridges and there are familiar sightings of New York State Troopers at the base of the bridges on either side. Visitors that stay in Buffalo and make the trek to go to see Niagara Falls, commonly listed as the seventh wonder of the world.
