The Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority, a New York State public benefit corporation, has run the crossing since it opened in 1960. It connects NY-37 with Highways 416 and 401; Highway 416 is the direct route toward Ottawa.

Quick answers

Is the bridge open 24 hours?

Yes. CBP lists Ogdensburg as open 24 hours a day. From 25 March through 21 November 2026, however, the bridge is under one-lane traffic control for paving and repairs, with temporary width, height and weight restrictions. Large-vehicle drivers should check the current OBPA notice before setting out.

Is there a commuter discount?

Frequent drivers can buy a Green Card for 20 one-way crossings over six months, at $52.00 USD or $69.25 CAD; a Yellow Card for 60 crossings over six months, at $156.00 USD or $208.00 CAD; or a Red Card for 75 crossings over two months, at $195.00 USD or $260.00 CAD.

How much is the toll?

A car pays $3.25 USD or $4.25 CAD one way on OBPA’s schedule. Two-axle trucks and buses pay $6.75 USD or $9.00 CAD, and larger trucks pay by axle count, from $8.50 USD for three axles.

Ogdensburg and Thousand Islands in August

CBP reported zero minutes at Ogdensburg in all 49 matched hourly checks in the August sample. Thousand Islands Bridge averaged about four minutes in those checks.

Standard car lanes into the U.S., 16–29 August 2026
CrossingAverage reported wait
Ogdensburg–Prescott Bridge0 min
Thousand Islands Bridge4 min

Both crossings had usable readings for 49 of the 336 hourly checks. This small sample leaves most hours unrepresented, so it does not establish which bridge was quicker across the full two weeks.

How the comparison was calculated

The stored CBP car estimates were aligned at half past each hour, Eastern time, using the agency’s passenger-lane timestamps. Both ports and lanes had to be open, with numeric estimates less than an hour old. The averages are rounded to whole minutes.

For a trip today, compare current Ogdensburg and Thousand Islands waits with the driving time for each route.

The 2026 construction restriction

The posted limits are temporary construction rules, not the bridge’s permanent rating. OBPA is using one-lane traffic control for paving and repairs. Check the current notice or call (315) 393-4080 before a large-vehicle trip, especially near the stated November end date.

Tolls

Trucks are billed by axle: from $6.75 USD or $9.00 CAD for OBPA’s Class 2 large two-axle truck to $20.75 USD or $27.75 CAD for ten axles, then $1.75 USD or $2.25 CAD for each additional axle. The bus toll is $6.75 USD or $9.00 CAD.

Commercial customers can prepay a Blue Truck Card for roughly a 10% discount. For booth-payment questions, call OBPA’s Administrative Building on (315) 393-4080.
