The Great Detroit-Canada Aquatic Escape: How Many Bridges Do You Need to Dodge a Moose?
So, you're planning a daring escape to Canada, eh? Tired of the whole "bald eagle soaring majestically" scene and want to experience the thrill of dodging a lovesick moose on the interstate? Excellent choice! But before you pack your maple syrup stash and Tim Hortons loyalty card, there's one crucial question: how many bridges do you need to cross to become a Canadian lumberjack...in training?
Actually, it's not quite that simple, my friend. Detroit and Windsor, Ontario (Canada's southernmost darling), are practically BFFs separated at birth by the mighty Detroit River. And like any good BFFs, they share a couple of key connection points.
- The Ambassador Bridge: This granddaddy of Detroit-Canada crossings is a suspension bridge with more history than your grandpa's toupee. It's the busiest commercial crossing in North America, so be prepared to share the road with a whole lotta trucks. Just don't try hitching a ride – they frown on that sort of thing.
- The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel: Not a bridge, but hey, it gets you to Canada! This subterranean passage is a great option if you're claustrophobic...ish.
But wait, there's more! Construction is underway on the Gordie Howe International Bridge, named after the legendary hockey player who probably could have slapped a puck all the way across the river. This new bridge will be a game-changer, but for now, it's just a shiny promise on the horizon.
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
So, the official answer is 1 (Ambassador Bridge) or 0 (tunnel, technically not a bridge). But hey, who cares about technicalities when you're on a grand adventure? Just remember, packing your passport is probably more important than counting bridges.
Bonus Tip: If you're looking for a scenic escape and bridges aren't your thing, hop on a ferry from Detroit to Amherstburg, Ontario. It'll take a little longer, but the views are way better than dodging semi-trucks.
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
