Please update your border info regarding importing vehicles into Canada. Ambassador Bridge Detroit is definitely not closed during the weekends.
The Bridge itself is open 24-hours. However, unless it’s changed, the office for inspections is only open 9-5. Unless you get the proper clearance and fax in the papers prior to arriving at the bridge, you’ll be stuck waiting until it opens.
Thanks for the comment, and I’ll definitely give it a look over.
