Eligibility differs more here than in any other corridor on this site. A low number is no use if the bridge will not take you.

Quick answers
Which Niagara bridge can you walk or cycle across?
On foot: the Peace Bridge, toll-free on its south sidewalk, and the Rainbow Bridge, for $1.00 USD or $1.25 CAD collected entering the United States. By bike: those two, plus the Queenston–Lewiston Bridge, riding in the roadway with traffic for $1.00 at the Commission’s bridges. The Whirlpool Rapids Bridge admits neither.
Which Niagara crossing is NEXUS-only?
The Whirlpool Rapids Bridge: NEXUS cardholders only, with Global Entry accepted U.S.-bound, open 7:00 am to 11:00 pm, and no pedestrians, bicycles, trucks or anything in tow. The other three bridges need no membership; the Peace Bridge and the Queenston–Lewiston Bridge run dedicated NEXUS lanes in both directions, and the Rainbow Bridge has none.
Which Niagara bridges take trucks?
The Peace Bridge and the Queenston–Lewiston Bridge. The Rainbow Bridge and the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge admit no commercial vehicles or trucks, which makes Queenston–Lewiston the only one of the Bridge Commission’s three crossings open to them.
