A second span was completed and opened in 1997 with the original span - built in 1938 - redecked, refurbished and reopened in 1999. Now, this major international facility is an even more efficient trade link, with one, three-lane span each for eastbound and westbound traffic.
On each side of the bridge are a number of facilities including Currency Exchange and Duty Free Shops. Westbound into Port Huron, Michigan, commercial traffic is directly accessible to the major interstate freeways I-94 and I-69. These two freeways link directly into the industrial heartland of Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky and the Midwest states of Illinois, Indiana and beyond. Eastbound into Point Edward/Sarnia, commercial traffic flows directly onto the four-lane divided Highway 402 and then onto Ontario's major east-west throughway, Highway 401. Quite simply, the Blue Water Bridge is the quickest, most efficient route between Toronto, Chicago, and beyond.With modern facilities on both sides of the border, the bridge will continue to attract more commercial traffic, including tour buses.
