Sandwich Parkway (Formerly an extension of Ojibway Parkway) is a short 2 km long divided expressway on the west side of Windsor that leads from the intersection of Ojibway Parkway and E.C. Row Expressway to the west end of Windsor and Sandwich Towne neighbourhood. It was built in the 1960s to meet up at a future proposed (but ultimately cancelled) interchange with E.C. Row Expressway to serve the neighbourhood of Sandwich. The interchange was never built, and was replaced with a light-controlled intersection.
It has a few business entrances, but is entirely industrial, and serves mainly as a truck route to nearby factories and power plants, such as the Brighton Beach Power Plant, and the now-destroyed James C. Keith Hydro Plant ("J.C. Keith", Decommissioned in 1993, demolished in 1998). It also links up with Sandwich Street to serve the Brighton Beach neighbourhood of Windsor, as well as the Black Oak Heritage Park.
Many maps also incorrectly listed this road as a part of Highway 18. This is erroneous, as Highway 18 travelled along E.C. Row to the interchange with Huron Church Road. It is a part of the Detroit River Heritage Parkway.
