The multi-use path will allow cyclists, runners, and pedestrians to cross the border free of charge, separate from vehicular traffic.

The path on the new bridge is highlighted on the cover of this year’s Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island 2026/2027 Official Visitors Guide.

The bridge authority is encouraging the public to watch its website and social media channels for additional information ahead of the August 5 opening.

The bridge will open to vehicular traffic on Monday July 27.
