Overview
- The Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority plans to open the free 1.8-mile multi-use path on Wednesday, Aug. 5, with summer hours from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and last entry at 7:00 p.m.
- Officials will limit the number of people on the path during the initial days to manage crowds and ensure smooth crossings.
- E-bikes are prohibited for the first few weeks and all users must observe a posted maximum speed of 20 km/h while giving pedestrians the right of way.
- The authority estimates a one-way crossing time of about 20 minutes by bike and 45 minutes on foot and reminds travelers to carry required Canada and U.S. travel documents.
- There is no on-site parking at the ports of entry so users should use off-site trailhead lots at Malden Park in Windsor or Clark Park in Detroit and expect border processing and access time to add to travel plans; the path opening follows the bridge’s July 27 vehicle opening and comes as questions over a recent revenue-sharing agreement continue to draw scrutiny.
