Route 33 Ramp Closure Causes Major Traffic Delays After Structure Fire
A structure fire forced the temporary closure of a Route 33 ramp, disrupting traffic across Buffalo.
WHY IT MATTERS: Closures on major routes disrupt commutes and highlight the importance of resilient infrastructure in Buffalo.
A structure fire on April 9, 2026, led to the temporary closure of the Route 33 ramp to Humboldt Parkway. Emergency crews responded quickly to contain the fire and ensure public safety.
The closure caused significant traffic congestion, particularly during midday travel hours, as commuters were rerouted through nearby streets.
Officials confirmed that the ramp was reopened later in the day after firefighters extinguished the blaze and cleared the area.
The incident underscores the vulnerability of key transportation routes in Buffalo during emergency situations.
