Erie County Two views looking towards Niagara Falls from the Porter Avenue overpass.  Notice the complex ramps that connect I-190 to the Peace bridge and Niagara Street.  While the connection between I-190 to the Peace Bridge is not a true freeway to freeway interchange, the connection does function very well..  Traffic heading north on I-190 encounters a single traffic light and a left turn, while traffic bound towards Buffalo from the Bridge enters the ramp directly from the customs house.
