Decrease in overall tunnel traffic due to ongoing tariff dispute
CTV News2 days ago
Politics and tariffs have slowed traffic through the Windsor-Detroit tunnel.
According to the tunnel corporation, the Windsor-Detroit crossing has been the least affected in Canada, with a drop of 5 per cent in traffic volume.
Over 10,000 daily commuters still cross to clock in at Henry Ford Hospital, DMC, or the Detroit three automakers.
There are still a lot of economic and social ties between the two communities as well.
'The weekend travel, certainly the discretionary travel is down considerably. Obviously, there's, you know, an elbow up campaign to try and keep our money here. And we understand that. And that's just something that we're going through right now. And I'm sure the folks in Ottawa and Washington will sort that out soon,' said Tunnel CEO Tal Czudner.
