First Bike Across New Bridge | Detroit News

The Gordie Howe International Bridge’s new multi-use path opens Wednesday at 8 AM, connecting Windsor and Detroit’s Delray neighborhood—1.5 miles of cross-border adventure for cyclists and pedestrians. Justin Bellemore, 31, arrived at 4 AM Tuesday with his yoga mat, determined to be the first person to bike across—turning a joke into a mission. Others, like 83-year-old Dennis Phillips, are eager to explore Fort Wayne on the Detroit side. Guidelines: ID required, 20-minute bike or 45-minute walk crossing, pedal-assisted bikes temporarily banned, and hours 8 AM–8 PM until October, then earlier in November. Free to use. Detroit’s new bike lanes and local businesses, like bartender Amayrani Chavarin, are ready to welcome the influx of visitors.
