CANADA AND ONTARIO
BEGIN FOUNDATIONS INVESTIGATIONS STUDY FOR NEW WINDSOR-DETROIT INTERNATIONAL CROSSING
WINDSOR —The governments of Canada and Ontario today announced the start of a foundations investigations study that
will lead to a better understanding of the bedrock stability in areas where a new international bridge spanning the
Detroit River could be located.
The foundations investigations are part of the continuing Detroit River International Crossing (DRIC) study being
carried out by the Border Transportation Partnership. The partnership, representing the governments of Canada, the
United States, Ontario and Michigan, is moving forward to improve traffic flow and trade movement at the
Windsor-Detroit border.
“The Government of Canada is committed to the development of additional border capacity at the Windsor gateway,
Canada’s premier trade corridor,” said the Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and
Communities. “This work is a critical component of the environmental assessment and of our planning process
currently underway to determine the location of a new Windsor-Detroit border crossing. A new crossing would make
a positive contribution to economic stability and growth for the region, and for Canada as a whole.”
