The Detroit–Windsor Tunnel opened in 1930 and runs under the Detroit River between the two downtowns, which usually makes it the shortest crossing for city-centre trips and the most size-restricted of the three. It is jointly owned by the two cities: Detroit Windsor Tunnel LLC runs the Detroit side and Windsor Detroit Borderlink, a City of Windsor company, runs the Windsor side. Closures are rare and announced — emergency training exercises and the Detroit Free Press Marathon.

Quick answers

Does the tunnel take cash?

No, in either direction. Tolls are payable by debit or credit card, a Nexpress card, or the tunnel app, so arriving with only banknotes means you cannot cross. Both the Ambassador Bridge and the Gordie Howe Bridge do take cash, which is what catches people out.

Can I use the Ready Lane?

Ready Lane is for U.S.-bound travellers with an eligible card: an enhanced licence, a U.S. passport card, or a NEXUS, SENTRI, Global Entry or FAST card. Everyone in the vehicle aged 16 or older needs an eligible card. A passport book does not qualify.

When do the trusted-traveller lanes open at weekends?

The tunnel’s NEXUS lanes open at 11:00 am and close at 7:00 pm on weekends and holidays in both directions. The tunnel itself is open 24 hours. The Ambassador Bridge has different NEXUS hours.

Tolls and payment

Unlike the two bridges, the tunnel charges a different rate in each direction, in the currency of the side you leave from, with a discounted Nexpress figure beside each.

Vehicle-lane waits do not estimate the bus trip or passenger processing time. For walking or cycling across the border itself, use the Gordie Howe Bridge multi-use path instead.

Vehicle limits and alternatives

Long vehicles must also negotiate a 30° curve in the tunnel’s pillar section. If your vehicle exceeds a tunnel limit, use the Ambassador Bridge or Gordie Howe Bridge instead.

For a motorcycle or scooter, use the Ambassador Bridge or Gordie Howe Bridge instead.
