Detroit-Windsor Tunnel closed until Thursday morning

The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel will be closed overnight, the Michigan Department of Transportation said late Wednesday.

The tunnel, between Detroit and Windsor, will be closed until 5:30 a.m. Thursday, according to a tweet from MDOT.

The tweet said the closure was due to a "work zone." 

According to the Windsor Star, closures for construction to replace the tunnel's 88-year-old ceiling have been ongoing since 2017. The project initially was slated to end in December. But "for a third time, completion" of the ceiling has been "pushed to an indefinite later date," a report in windsorstar.com said.
