Hi! I'm going to Hamilton/Brantford in 2 weekends, our flight home isn't till late afternoon on Monday. Is it reasonable to consider driving to Niagara Falls for the morning on Monday? Say we left Brantford about 7:30AM, planned to stay till noon at Niagara Falls? Or would traffic be so horrendous that there's no point? It's only about 115km.....
Thanks for helping this Albertan who has never been to Ontario!

Traffic from Niagara to Hamilton in the afternoon shouldn't be a problem at all. I'd expect the highway to be pretty open and clear, barring any unexpected accidents. And on the way in to Niagara from Brantford in the morning should be fine. I think it would take about an hour, or a little more.

You'd be going against traffic so you should be fine barring any accidents or anything of that ilk. I've done the drive on a weekday and it's just fine from Hamilton to Niagara.

You will run into morning commuter traffic on the 403 going from Brantford to Hamilton, and it will get very busy as you are approaching Ancaster, and passing through Hamilton.
As others have mentioned, once you are through Hamilton and on the QEW traffic going towards Niagara Falls should be good though. Likewise returning from Niagara.
Enjoy your trip!
