Has security been strengthened at the various bridges and tunnels that connect Canada to Michigan?
Yes. U.S. Customs, U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, Michigan National Guard, local police agencies and sheriff departments, and the Michigan Department of Transportation are working cooperatively to ensure Michigans border with Canada is as safe and secure as possible. This requires a high security level, which involves thorough inspections of all vehicles and increased questioning of people attempting to enter the United States from Canada at the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron, the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel and Ambassador Bridge in Detroit, and the International Bridge in Sault Ste. Marie. At peak travel times, this can result in delays approaching two hours, however it is more common to see delays under 20 minutes to 30 minutes at most of the crossings. The Ambassador Bridge tends to have longer delays than any other location. Delays going into Canada are generally quite short.
