Tunnel Entrance – 1940’s

A neat old photo of the tunnel entrance from the 1940’s. I’m certain someone out there will be able to help narrow down the date based on the car.

What a long way the tunnel has come, from the early days, to the giant remodel of the 1990’s, with more changes coming soon…

  • i guess they have another tunnel plaza remodelling job in the near future i don't like the idea of them completely blocking off Goyeau street

  • Yes, how much the changes have come. Cars are a necessity especially in cities like Windsor and Detroit.

    I wonder why we are expanding the plaza once again (and once again closing off roads)? Could someone owe someone else a favour in expanding their duty free shop?

  • Public roads being let go to private hands is a bad, bad, move... anytime. Perhaps the city should just put itself up on the TSX..

  • the city is cutting a major north/south route into the core that makes no sense eddie better pray that city hall doesn't burn down LOL

  • I blame the tax-and-spend Liberals. They're putting a MTO maintenance yard. They also were able to give an undisclosed amount to the major tax collector called the "Beer Store".

  • Who owns the tunnel? Who is chairman of the tunnel commishion? Who tried to buy the Detroit side of the tunnel?

  • i think the city of windsor owns the canadian half of the tunnel i believe they tried to negotiate with kwamie kilpatrick when he was in power over there for the american side but failed not sure

  • Noticed that the Cody Hall thread was closed. Saw it fenced up yesterday with a trailer that said Jones Group Demolition on it. Some of the windows were removed like Grace. No more discussion on it?
