Traffic into United States was not affected
The Ambassador Bridge reopened Saturday afternoon after an investigation caused traffic from the United States to Canada to be rerouted for several hours, Windsor police and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) said.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Saturday morning, police said officers were “on scene at the Ambassador Bridge for an ongoing investigation.” Incoming traffic to Canada was rerouted to the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel.
Around 3:15 p.m., police and the CBSA said the bridge had reopened.
Traffic into the United States was not affected.
The CBSA confirmed in a statement late on Saturday that an employee working at the Ambassador Bridge had died by suicide.
The Customs and Immigration Union in a statement said the incident took place in Windsor and offered condolences to the person’s family.
“Incidents such as this one bring to light the challenges public safety personnel may be confronted with throughout their career,” the statement read.
