The Windsor-Essex Parkway is an unprecedented highway
project. Its scope, features and benefits to travellers and the
community are one-of-a-kind.
The Windsor-Essex Parkway will reflect the high safety standards and
practices that have consistently made Ontario’s roads among the safest
in North America. This state-of-the-art Parkway will provide
border-bound travellers with direct freeway access to a modern
inspection plaza and a new international river crossing, cutting
valuable travel time off of their trips. Local travellers will be able
to enter and exit the route easily via the Parkway’s many on and off
ramps. Service roads will improve access to schools, shops,
neighbourhoods and natural areas.
Tunnelled roadways will provide community connections for
the first time while restoring natural linkages. Pedestrians and
cyclists will enjoy 20 km of new recreational trails and will be able
to travel the length of the corridor without encountering a motor
vehicle. Their use will be safe for the whole family. The community will
benefit from more than 300 Acres of green space and various
opportunities to determine their use – a local solution for the people
of Windsor-Essex.
Check out real-time road conditions along the Windsor-Essex Parkway corridor by viewing the Ministry of Transportation COMPASS traffic cameras. Click on any camera image along Highway 401, Talbot Road/Highway 3 or Huron Church Road.
