Re: Blue Water Bridge Closure

The U.S.-bound span (First Blue Water Bridge) will be closed to traffic beginning July 5, 2023 for rehabilitation work. The work is expected to be finished by October 5, 2023. To minimize impact and disruption, the Canada-bound span (Second Blue Water Bridge) will become bi-directional and remain operational during construction. The rehabilitation work is not expected to have significant traffic disruptions to travellers or to the local community.

The Canada-bound span (Second Blue Water Bridge) will be used to accommodate international traffic in both directions during the project. The north lane will be open to traffic from Canada to U.S. across the bridge, and the south and middle lanes will be open to traffic from the U.S. to Canada. All of the toll lanes will remain open as traffic approaches the toll plazas at each end of the bridge.

The Walpole Algonac Ferry is committed to safe and timely service across the St. Clair River. We are your Ontario-Michigan connection and will continue to be a reliable border-crossing option.

A second boat will be in service on weekends to address the potential increase in border traffic - operating when peak traffic levels demand.
