Detroit-Windsor Tunnel

You must use ArriveCAN to enter Canada!

All travellers coming to Canada must submit their mandatory information in ArriveCAN (free App or website), including their digital proof of vaccination and a quarantine plan within 72 hours before arriving in Canada. Effective April 1, 2022 fully vaccinated travellers coming to Canada will no longer need to provide a pre-entry COVID-19 test to enter Canada. For more information, visit www.canada.ca/arrivecan.

Cashless Toll and Travel Update

The Tunnel will be fully reopened for vaccinated, nonessential travel to the United States effective November 8, 2021. Prior to crossing the border, visitors to the United States should consult the Department of Homeland Security website to ensure that they meet the eligibility criteria to enter the country. American visitors to Canada should continue to consult the Public Health Agency of Canada website for entry eligibility requirements.

Additionally, the tunnel will continue cashless tolling on the Detroit side of the border. The Canadian side of the border will continue to accept cash tolls through the end of the year, at which point cash will no longer be accepted as a form of payment.

The new process is simple: Travelers can sign up for a Nexpress account here, load their account, and receive a toll discount on every trip. Customers can continue to use credit and debit cards or mobile payments in the lane.

Travelers can get real-time updates and traffic information by visiting this website or on Twitter @DetWinTunnel.
