Put , the union of all infinite percolation clusters. Since , the percolation probability is positive. The translation ergodicity of Bernoulli percolation makes a zero-one event; it has positive probability because , hence it occurs almost surely.
Let . These events increase to , so continuity from below of a measure gives . On , some vertex of has an infinite open path in a graph. For every , the segment up to its first visit to lies entirely in . Thus even with this restriction on the connecting path in a graph,
This proves the requested uniformity and supplies the version needed for crossings later.
