Windsor’s new tunnel plaza is really taking shape.
Construction started earlier this year and crews recently added decorative lamp posts to the entire plaza, built a new maintenance building and have installed a clock.
Goyeau Avenue closed between Wyandotte and Park and will not be reopening as the land it previously occupied is now part of the permanent plaza.
The new plaza will include a queueing area when traffic wait volumes increase and an entirely landscaped area.
The project includes:
- new car access routes
- new plaza buildings for Canada Border Services Agency and a tunnel maintenance building
- additional car inspection lanes and Nexus lanes
- landscaping
- moving a City of Windsor Permit Parking lot to the location of the old Beer Store
Outside of the plaza work includes:
- Closure of Goyeau Street between Park Street and Wyandotte Street (to become part of the extended plaza area)
- Reconfigure City Hall Square to two-way traffic
- Reconfigure Park Street to two-way traffic between Goyeau Street and City Hall Square
- Reconfigure ‘Lot 10’ Permit Parking (southeast corner of Park Street and Goyeau Street)
- Gateway landscaping at the main access at Goyeau Street / Wyandotte Street
