Windsor Border Crossings
Windsor, Ontario, is the busiest commercial crossing on the Canada–US border, facing Detroit, Michigan, across the river. The Ambassador Bridge is the busiest land crossing in North America — a huge share of trade between the two countries rolls across it — mixing cars with a steady stream of trucks on FAST lanes; the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, by contrast, links downtown Windsor straight to downtown Detroit and carries passengers only, no freight. Here you compare each one's live wait time — General, NEXUS and cargo — to separate cars from trucks; open either for its hour-by-hour pattern and the best window of the day.
