 RESOLUTION

Recognizing the 95th anniversary of the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel and its 
enduring significance to international trade, economic development, and 
 cross-border relations between the United States and Canada.

Whereas, on November 3, 1930, the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel officially opened to 
 the public, becoming the second-busiest crossing between the United 
 States and Canada and the first vehicular underwater international 
 tunnel in the world;
Whereas the tunnel has served as a vital transportation and trade artery for 
 nearly a century, connecting Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, 
 and supporting millions of commercial and passenger vehicles each year;
Whereas the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel has strengthened cultural ties and economic 
 integration between the United States and Canada, facilitating 
 binational cooperation, tourism, and commerce;
Whereas the tunnel has played a critical role in ensuring the flow of essential 
 goods and frontline workers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, 
 when reliable cross-border access was paramount;
Whereas the city of Detroit and American Roads, the private operator of the 
 tunnel, have maintained and modernized this critical piece of 
 infrastructure, ensuring it remains safe, accessible, and secure for 
 future generations; and
Whereas the 95th anniversary of the tunnel offers an opportunity to reflect on 
 the legacy of cross-border partnership and to reaffirm the commitment of 
 the United States to infrastructure investments that strengthen regional 
 and international connectivity: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

    (1) recognizes the 95th anniversary of the Detroit-Windsor 
 Tunnel;

    (2) commends the city of Detroit and American Roads for 
 their stewardship of this critical international crossing;

    (3) reaffirms the importance of modern, resilient 
 infrastructure to support trade, economic development, and 
 regional mobility; and

    (4) celebrates the continued friendship and economic 
 partnership between the United States and Canada.
