Quick answers
Do I have to report to CBSA when leaving Cornwall Island?
Yes. Everyone travelling from Kawehno:ke (Cornwall Island) into the city of Cornwall over the North Span Bridge must report at the Cornwall port of entry, even if they never left Canada. This applies to drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists. The Domestic Lane is only for travellers who came directly from Kawehno:ke without entering the United States.
Is there a toll?
Yes. A two-axle passenger vehicle under 4,080 kg (8,995 lb) pays $5.25 CAD or $3.75 USD. Pay entirely in Canadian or U.S. funds; mixed currency is treated as Canadian funds. A Seaway Transit Card gives a 10% discount, and SIBC reviews the U.S.-dollar tariff twice a year.
Can you walk or cycle across?
Yes. SIBC says pedestrians and cyclists may use the bridge sidewalks in either direction without a toll. The Akwesasne reporting rules still apply: anyone leaving Kawehno:ke for Cornwall must report to CBSA, and anyone arriving from or through the United States must use an open international lane.
Crossing through Akwesasne
The Seaway International Bridge crosses Akwesasne Mohawk territory. The system is two spans joined by a road across Kawehno:ke (Cornwall Island): the South Channel Bridge, between the island and Rooseveltown, New York, and the North Span Bridge, between the island and the city of Cornwall, Ontario. CBSA’s port of entry is in Cornwall at 1 Brookdale Avenue, not on the island; the agency relocated it from Cornwall Island in 2009.
The purple-signed Domestic Lane is open daily from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm. It is for travellers coming directly from Kawehno:ke who have not entered the United States, whether they are Akwesasne residents or non-residents. CBSA has flagged increasing misuse by people returning from the U.S.; use this lane only if you remained in Canada for the entire trip.
Tolls and payment
A recreational vehicle pays $14.50 CAD or $10.50 USD. Commercial rates start at $13.50 CAD or $9.75 USD for two axles.
