RESOLUTION

Recognizing the 95th anniversary of the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel and its 
enduring significance to international trade, economic development, and 
cross-border relations between the United States and Canada.

Whereas, on November 3, 1930, the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel officially opened to 
the public, becoming the second-busiest crossing between the United 
States and Canada and the first vehicular underwater international 
tunnel in the world;
Whereas the tunnel has served as a vital transportation and trade artery for 
nearly a century, connecting Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, 
and supporting millions of commercial and passenger vehicles each year;
Whereas the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel has strengthened cultural ties and economic 
integration between the United States and Canada, facilitating 
binational cooperation, tourism, and commerce;
Whereas the tunnel has played a critical role in ensuring the flow of essential 
goods and frontline workers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, 
when reliable cross-border access was paramount;
Whereas the city of Detroit and American Roads, the private operator of the 
tunnel, have maintained and modernized this critical piece of 
infrastructure, ensuring it remains safe, accessible, and secure for 
future generations; and
Whereas the 95th anniversary of the tunnel offers an opportunity to reflect on 
the legacy of cross-border partnership and to reaffirm the commitment of 
the United States to infrastructure investments that strengthen regional 
and international connectivity: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) recognizes the 95th anniversary of the Detroit-Windsor 
Tunnel;
(2) commends the city of Detroit and American Roads for 
their stewardship of this critical international crossing;
(3) reaffirms the importance of modern, resilient 
infrastructure to support trade, economic development, and 
regional mobility; and
(4) celebrates the continued friendship and economic 
partnership between the United States and Canada.
