Detroit-Windsor Tunnel Offers Quicker Way to Pay

DETROIT (AP) - The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel is offering a speedier way to pay tolls to use the international border crossing.

Officials with the tunnel connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, under the Detroit River announced Wednesday that toll lanes on the U.S. side have been equipped with readers that recognize NEXPRESS cards.

Instructions for getting a card are on the tunnel's website. Tolls may be prepaid online and officials say it will be less expensive than using cash, credit cards or tokens to pay tolls at the border.

Readers that recognize NEXPRESS cards are expected to be in place on the Canadian side of the border by year's end.
