Michigan Border Crossings to Pause Traffic for Sept. 11 Observance
CBP will halt traffic at five crossings for about 30 minutes as officials mark the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
- All Michigan international border crossings will briefly close on Friday morning to observe the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the Michigan Department of Transportation announced.
- The nation marks the 25th anniversary of the attacks, which killed 2,977 people when al-Qaida terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners; the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Centre at 8:46 a.m. that day.
- Traffic will be cleared from all five crossings before 8:46 a.m. as officials raise the U.S. flag, play Taps, and hold a moment of silence at the Ambassador Bridge, Gordie Howe International Bridge, Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, Blue Water Bridge, and Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge.
- Customs and Border Protection expects closures to last approximately 30 minutes or less, with normal operations resuming immediately after the observance concludes.
- Windsor-Detroit Tunnel Corporation CEO Tal Czudner urged patience during the temporary interruption, suggesting commuters in health care or IT should "leave for work a little bit earlier on Friday" to arrive on time.
