Blue Water Bridge
Blue Water Bridge
A major international crossing, the Blue Water Bridge spans the St. Clair River at the southern end of Lake Huron. Located near the I-94 and I-69 interchange in Port Huron, Michigan, and connecting to Highway 402 in Point Edward, Ontario, the bridge is one of the fastest links between the Midwest and Ontario, as well as the Northeast United States.
Opened to traffic in October 1938, the original Blue Water Bridge formed a critical gateway linking the United States and Canada. In 1997, the second Blue Water Bridge span was opened to traffic. The original bridge now carries three lanes of westbound traffic and the second span carries three lanes of eastbound traffic.

Blue Water Bridge International Smart Freight Corridor Project
The Blue Water Bridge International Smart Freight Corridor Project will implement a proof of concept of a smart corridor for truck-borne goods movement at the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron, Michigan, and the Port Huron Port of Entry. The main goal of the smart corridor is to apply data-centered technologies to enable the unimpeded flow of information among commercial carriers, shipping companies, vehicles, border agencies, and infrastructure operators along a key international freight corridor.
