Ontario Border Improvements — Windsor

Premier Dalton McGuinty is committed to improving traffic flow at the Windsor Gateway to keep people and goods moving safely and efficiently, to help build prosperity for Ontario families and to strengthen our economy.

We're planning for a new river crossing, access road and inspection plaza at the Windsor-Detroit border. In the meantime, we are working together with our partners to implement several projects that address traffic flow, congestion and efficiency in the Windsor-Detroit Gateway.

The Windsor Border Initiatives Implementation Group (Windsor BIIG) is a dedicated Ministry of Transportation team of 40 people organized to implement all transportation initiatives at the Windsor Gateway. (Windsor BIIG) is comprised of three main streams: regional improvements through the Let's Get Windsor-Essex Moving strategy; the Detroit River International Crossing study, a binational environmental assessment study of a new crossing; and Governance, which includes collaborative investigation of a range of governance approaches that provide effective public oversight and control.

Let's Get Windsor-Essex Moving Improvements Under Way

Ontario is working with the Government of Canada, the City of Windsor and the County of Essex to implement a number of projects to improve traffic flow at existing crossings and address congestion issues in the Windsor-Detroit Gateway. Several projects in the Let's Get Windsor-Essex Moving strategy (LGWEM) are underway or complete.
