While the Gordie Howe International Bridge is set to open to commercial and passenger vehicles July 27, pedestrians and cyclists are going to have to wait a little while longer to cross.
The Windsor Detroit Bridge Authority (WDBA) announced Thursday that walkers and bike riders will be allowed to go over the Detroit River on the span starting Aug. 5.
The one lane path will accommodate two-way pedestrian traffic.
According to the WDBA’s website the multi-use path remains toll-free.
The path is 2.5 kilometres long and 3.6 metres wide and connects into existing local trail networks on either side of the border.
