Digital scan of a black and white photo of traffic backed outside the entrance to the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, as taken from an elevated position across Atwater Street, facing north. The tunnel's portal is on the right. The service building is above the ramp on the right. Woodbridge Street stretches horizontally across the background where more cars are lined up, and Bates Street is visible at the top right.
A note included with the photo reads:
October 1, 1945
This photograph is another view of the traffic taken between 9:30 and 10:00 A.M. Saturday, September 29th, 1945 showing cars blocked on the American side by reason of insufficient inspection lanes in Windsor to clear the traffic, only four inspection lanes out of an available ten were operating.
