For those of you heading south to Florida by car over the next little while, here is a heads-up about a significant change to your likely itinerary.

Michigan has closed 13 kilometres of I-75’s southbound lanes for the next two years. This section is just below the Ambassador Bridge and Detroit Tunnel, the Windsor/Detroit crossings, so it will affect all Ontarians who cross here en-route to Florida.

With March Break starting shortly, many driving south could be surprised by this interstate closure.

There is a very useful website offering advice on detours and best times to drive this stretch go to www.i75online.com.
