Common questions

Which Detroit–Windsor crossing is fastest for trucks right now?

As of Oct 18, 9:23 PM EDT, the shortest posted Canada-bound commercial wait was at the Gordie Howe International Bridge (No delay). Times change quickly; the board above refreshes every two minutes.

Where do these wait times come from?

U.S.-bound times are published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection; Canada-bound times by the Canada Border Services Agency. We show the official figures without adjustment.

What does “FAST lanes” mean?

FAST (Free and Secure Trade) lanes are dedicated commercial lanes for pre-approved carriers, drivers and importers. They are often quicker than standard commercial lanes when open.

Can trucks use the Detroit–Windsor Tunnel?

Commercial capacity in the tunnel is very limited. Most freight uses the Ambassador Bridge, the Gordie Howe International Bridge or the Blue Water Bridge.

Which crossing should hazardous materials use?

Hazmat routing differs by crossing and cargo class, and some loads must use the Detroit–Windsor Truck Ferry or the Blue Water Bridge. Confirm with the crossing operator and your customs broker before dispatching.
