Project No. 9

Windsor-Detroit Tunnel Plaza Master Plan and Improvements

Since September 11, 2001, safety measures implemented at all border crossings have resulted in vehicles queuing on municipal streets around the Canadian plaza of the Windsor-Detroit Tunnel. Upgrades to the tunnel plaza will address current traffic problems occurring in the local, surrounding municipal road system and maximize the performance of the tunnel plaza allowing for more efficient flow of vehicles. The upgrades to the Canadian tunnel plaza could include: improved plaza configuration; additional queue storage; a dedicated NEXUS lane; and improved access road configuration.

Current Project Status

  • Detail design and property acquisition is underway.

Next Steps

  • Subject to all approvals, completion of engineering work and property acquisition, construction could begin in 2012.
