Detroit, MI, August 6, 2026 —
The much-anticipated pedestrian and cyclist path on the Gordie Howe International Bridge is now officially open, providing a new non-vehicular link between Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario.
The pathway, which offers views of the Detroit River and surrounding areas, is free to use for both pedestrians and cyclists. Officials are expecting a high volume of visitors, particularly in the initial days and weeks following the opening.
To help manage potential congestion, authorities are advising the public that visiting the path during off-peak times may offer a more enjoyable experience. Specific operating hours for the pedestrian and cyclist path have been established, and these should be consulted before planning a visit.
As the pathway serves as a border crossing, all users must be prepared with the appropriate identification for entry into either Canada or the United States. Requirements for identification may vary based on nationality and the specific regulations of each country’s border services.
Further details regarding operating hours and required identification can be obtained from the official Gordie Howe International Bridge website or relevant border crossing authorities.
