We use the bridge a couple of times a month to go shopping in the states or to get to the airport. Traffic tie-ups have become a major problem. One cannot predict a "best" time to cross - it's just the luck of the draw if you get across quickly. More

You have to go way the heck out of your way to get to the bridge and when you get off on the way back you go through some of the worst areas in Detroit. When the heck are they going to connect the high way, all this for one moron. More

The bridge is out-dated and the lanes are too close together. The workers on the Canadian side are fine but on the American side they are rude. More
