C$450-million private sector financing sought by the Detroit River Tunnel Partnership (DRTP) as part of an estimated C$600 million (US$400 million) plan to convert the current twin-tube rail tunnel under the Detroit river across the border between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan into a truck route and to build a new single-tube rail tunnel to accommodate all rail cars. Preliminary designs and preparatory work almost completed. DRTP is a partnership between Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) and Borealis Transportation Infrastructure Trust (BTIT). The tunnel could be completed in early 2007. More info in E-News Weekly # 33. 36/02.
