Gordie Howe International Bridge to feature bike lanes, pedestrian access
WINDSOR, Ont. — Pedestrians and cyclists will be able to use the new cross-border Gordie Howe International Bridge that will connect Windsor, Ont., with Detroit.
The announcement of a “dedicated multi-use path” for cyclists and pedestrians was made Wednesday during a news event at Bike Windsor-Essex.
Dwight Duncan, chairman of the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority’s board of directors, said in a statement that the bridge’s new feature is a response to community demand.
“We have heard you loud and clear that the ability to cross the Gordie Howe International Bridge by bike or by foot is important to you,” Duncan said. “The integration of a multi-use path will benefit the communities, as it will support active transportation, a healthy lifestyle as well as enhance cycle tourism across the border.”
