The Canadian mayor of Niagara Falls, Jim Diodati, said the Rainbow Bridge is expected to reopen in a day or two, after a car explosion that killed two people shuttered the busy crossing between the US and Canada.
“The damage as we understand it is superficial as far as the bridge is concerned,” Diodati said Thursday in an interview, adding that US authorities will make the decision on when to reopen the bridge. One of the booths on the American side was damaged, but there are other booths available for travelers to drive through, he said, citing discussions with police officials.
