Twin truss-arch spans crossing the Niagara River offer graphic architectural lines, reflections and views of boat traffic and the riverscape. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side lighting and long exposures; spring–summer brings boats/jet skis, winter gives stark ice and contrast. No special entry permits; shoot from vehicle pullouts, nearby shoreline parks on Grand Island and Tonawanda. Weekdays and early mornings reduce traffic; expect backups after accidents.
