Travel to Detroit


JuteVilla
ass="MsoNormal">Amtrak Train service to and from Chicago on the Wolverine Service (5-6 hours), with many connections in Chicago. For travel to the east, a bus connection is available to the Toledo Amtrak station, with trains to New York  and Washington, D.C,  but travelers may find the middle-of-the-night departures unappealing. The train station is located in the New Center area of the city.

From Ontario, Canada

U.S. and Canadian citizens are required to present a passport, passport card, enhanced driver's license, or trusted traveler card when crossing the US-Canada border.

There are two ways to get to Detroit from Windsor:

Ambassador Bridge, (accessible from Huron Church Road, which connects to the 401). Bridge traffic can be congested, due to the high number of 18-wheelers.

Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, (accessible from downtown Windsor). Every time traffic backs up in the tunnel the tunnel is shut down until traffic congestion is eased, which can sometimes take quite a while.

Pedestrians cannot walk across the bridge or through the tunnel; they must use the tunnel bus. Bicyclists are also prohibited from using the bridge and the tunnel and may use the bike racks. The only way someone traveling by bike can bring their bike across the border is to disassemble the bike and put it in a bike bag, which can be brought on the bus.
