Detroit-Windsor Tunnel To Close Sunday Morning For Training Exercise

DETROIT (WWJ/AP) - If you're planning to use the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel on Sunday morning, you're going to need a detour.

The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel will be closed to traffic from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Sunday for the training involving Detroit and Windsor police, firefighters, EMS workers and customs officials from both countries. Such training has taken place for nearly 20 years.

Tunnel President Neal Belitsky says in an email Friday that this year's scenario will focus on rescue response.

The mile-long tunnel, which takes motorists across the international border at the Detroit River, offers a unique location for training. Belitsky says the training exercise offers a chance to test radio systems, response coordination and command responsibilities.
