                               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.
                                 <all>
