The Windsor-Detroit Cross-River Tour is an international Community Benefits Plan initiative that celebrates the unique culture, history and diversity of the Sandwich/west Windsor and Delray/Southwest Detroit communities through interpretive signage that will be placed along pedestrian and cycling paths on the lands surrounding the Canadian and US Ports of Entry

The location of the Gordie Howe International Bridge project is deeply rooted with rich cultural history. The Underground Railroad that saw thousands escaping from slavery crossing the Detroit River to gain freedom in the community of Sandwich in Windsor, Ontario, is an integral part of that cultural history. The area remains home to descendants of those who made this journey.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge project team is excited to unveil a public art commission that will provide a welcoming and unique experience for future bridge users.
