The Detroit Windsor Tunnel today announced plans for improvements to the tunnel, beginning later this year.
The scheduled renovations to the Detroit Windsor Tunnel will include removal and replacement of the tunnel ceiling, as well as electrical, communications, lighting and masonry work.
The project, under the direction of Parsons Brinckerhoff Engineering, is funded by Detroit Windsor Tunnel, LLC and the Windsor Detroit Tunnel Corporation. The renovations to the tunnel come on the heels of the Windsor plaza renovations that were completed by the Province of Ontario in 2015.
“The City of Windsor is committed to investing in our infrastructure assets, and we are especially pleased to be part of the continuing enhancements and renovations at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, The tunnel is truly one of the crown jewels of southern Ontario and is one of the showpieces of our great City. For many visitors, it is a reflection of the City itself, and of our importance as a border city and an international gateway. These newly announced renovations, on top of the recent revitalization of the tunnel plaza, will only serve to further enhance that reputation.” – said Drew Dilkens, Mayor, Windsor and Chairman, Windsor Detroit Tunnel Corporation.
“We look forward to continuing to serve as the premier gateway to Windsor and Detroit for years to come, and this work will help us to do just that,” said Neal Belitsky, President, Detroit Windsor Tunnel. “This renovation project is a continuation of the over $50 million in investments we’ve made in the tunnel since 1998 to continue maintaining and improving this great asset.”
