The Ogdensburg-Prescott Bridge connects directly with the main north-south highway leading to Ottawa, but is not connected to the interstate highway system in the United States. As a result, commercial traffic on the Ogdensburg bridge is about one-tenth that of the Thousand Islands Bridge. Although traffic is heavy, the bridge has unused capacity and border crossings are relatively easy.
