It is a common complaint in Niagara this summer, traffic congestion on the QEW.
Traffic was so heavy on the QEW in both directions today that some residents tell us it took double or triple the time it usually takes to get to their destination.
Adding to the problem this afternoon was that the QEW Toronto-bound on-ramp was closed at Victoria.
Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff tells CKTB he has heard the complaint and admits we have seen an increase in travel times on the QEW.
He says there are a few factors including construction, summer tourists, and more people moving into the area.
Oosterhooff says he will bring the issue up at Queen's Park and push for infrastructure investments in Niagara.
He says he will also advocate for moving forward on plans for daily GO Train service.
