There is construction currently that makes it a bit nerve wracking with super narrow lanes and tons of huge trucks. It is a bit confusing when entering from the US side as well - if traffic is busy it can be quite congested as there is no street light at a main intersection with two lanes feeding in to the...

Horrible access from the Detroit side, no wonder the owner was incarcerated for not finishing the job. More

They ransacked my vehicle, dropping luggage onto the ground, tipping bags of toiletries and personal belongings everywhere. Wouldn't let me watch them as they went through my money, my valuables. Total abuse of power and their attitude was crap. Made me feel like a felon! Then they denied me entry because I wasn't carrying a utility bill, paycheck stub and... More

My first "one". This is a dissaster. Confusing, long line and generally a bad experience. The only positive is a great view. I would use the tunnel in Detroit or go to Port Huron and use the bridge there. More

Drive around in circles trying to get to the bridge on Detroit side, and go through tons of local traffic in Windsor to access on their side. Also rip you off on Cdn toll when the dollar is at par...AND they charge more than other border crossings More

Access is a joke, wending around a residential neighborhood to cross into Canada, Toll plaza and CBP facility on return is tiny mess of a place. More

I don't know who called this mess a bridge but I will avoid at all costs next time. At least until the construction is finished. The directional signs are confusing, missing or just plain wrong. We spent an hour trying to find the bridge! Trucks backed up for a mile, and cars waiting for them. We spent another half an... More
