Transit Windsor has devised a plan to deal as best as it can with the frequent closures of the Windsor-Detroit Tunnel over the next eight months — and it’s complicated.

In a report to the city’s environment, transportation and public safety committee at its Wednesday night meeting, Transit Windsor executive director Pat Delmore outlined the plans to deal with the tunnel’s frequent closures to repair the ceiling.

“There is no bus processing area on the Detroit side of the Ambassador Bridge,” Delmore told the meeting.

“For that reason we will not be using the Ambassador Bridge going into the U.S.”

The tunnel construction project is slated to begin on Oct. 20, with a full 10-day closure for demolition of the river section of the ceiling. There will be no tunnel bus service during that period.

That means there will be no tunnel bus service to the Oct. 22 Detroit vs. Vancouver NHL game, the Oct. 23 Detroit vs. Philadelphia NBA game, the Oct. 24 Fall Out Boy concert at Little Caesars Arena, the Oct. 25 Detroit vs. Minnesota NBA game, the Oct. 27 concert by The Eagles and Vince Gill at Little Caesars Arena, or the Oct. 29 Detroit vs. Pittsburgh NFL game and Janet Jackson concert at Little Caesars.
