The Detroit Windsor Tunnel has delayed the plans for scheduled renovations to the tunnel until 2017, officials announced Wednesday.
Earlier this year, the tunnel announced improvements including removal and replacement of the Tunnel ceiling, as well as electrical, communications, lighting and masonry work.
While under construction, the tunnel would have closed for brief periods in the evening. The revised schedule will delay all closures until next year.
“There will be no closures of the Detroit Windsor Tunnel this year,” said DWT president Neal Belitsky in a news release.
“The renovations will happen, the project just needs to be re-engineered before we begin, but our travelers can rest assured that once the schedule is confirmed they will be notified and advised of the new work schedule.”
