Noticing extra police activity near Windsor‘s west end or the Gordie Howe International Bridge this week? It was planned.
Windsor Police Service confirmed it carried out a scheduled emergency preparedness exercise at several west-end locations, including the Gordie Howe International Bridge, simulating an emergency incident as part of standard cross-border readiness training. Officials said the exercise posed no risk to public safety.
If you live or commute near the bridge and the west end, the increased police presence and any temporary traffic direction were part of this planned drill, not a response to an actual incident. Unless police issue a separate alert, no action is required beyond giving responders room and following any temporary traffic instructions.
