What happens in a snow storm if the QEW is closed – how will ambulances get to the Niagara Falls or Welland from Fort Erie?
(Answered provided by Niagara Emergency Medical Services) In the rare event that weather or any other incident was to cause the closure of the QEW to the public, ambulances would still be permitted to travel on the highway. Options to assist with travel to Niagara Falls or Welland may involve taking alternate routes and/or requesting snowplows to help clear the way.
