Drivers heading through the Windsor-Detroit Tunnel in the new year will have to take some extra cash.

A toll increase for those heading from Canada to the U.S. is scheduled for Jan. 1, 2025 .

“The increase is necessary to allow us to plan for our future capital projects.” said Tal Czudner, CEO of Windsor Detroit Borderlink Limited, which operates the Canadian side of the Tunnel. “The Tunnel will continue to be the best value option to get from Windsor to Detroit.”

The increase will be $0.50 for credit card and debit card users, to $7.25. The cost of Nexpress users will move from $5.40 to $5.90.
