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
