WINDSOR, Ont. — The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel has expanded the availability of real-time tunnel traffic information.

Truckers and travelers between Windsor and Detroit via the tunnel will be able to obtain real-time traffic conditions by clicking on www.dwtunnel.com.

According to tunnel general manager Neal Belitsky, “though delays between Detroit and Windsor are minimal and crossing the border has never been easier, many still have the perception that crossing the border is difficult and time consuming.”

The web-based service will provide a real-time camera view of the tunnel’s Detroit and Windsor plazas. Windsor is now operational and Detroit
will be on line shortly. In addition to the live view feed, traffic conditions and lane availability will also be updated every half hour.

The tunnel is also evaluating adding SMS (text messaging) and e-mail notifications as another value-added service to its customers.

Other recent improvements include the recently completed paving of Randolph Street and widening of the Detroit toll plaza, acceptance of credit cards for toll on the Detroit plaza, and the opening of additional automatic toll machines so more lanes are available on a 24-hour basis.
