🚗 Every crossing has a story, and some stories become part of a family's legacy.

Today, we're giving a special shout-out to one of our wonderful followers, Justin Gagnon, for sharing a meaningful piece of Detroit-Windsor Tunnel history with us!

Justin's grandfather, Marty Walls. dedicated 27 years of service to the Tunnel on the side before retiring in 1992 at the age of 63.

Recently, Justin shared a historic Detroit Free Press newspaper clipping that his grandfather proudly kept framed in his home for years, along with a photograph of his uniform hat. After Marty's passing, Justin inherited these treasured keepsakes and continues to display them in his own home today.

What makes this story so special is the legacy behind these items. They're more than pieces of Tunnel history. They're reminders of the dedicated people who helped connect both communities for generations.

❤️ Thank you, Justin, for sharing your grandfather's story and these wonderful memories with us! We're honored to celebrate Marty's years of service and the lasting impact of the people who have been part of our Tunnel family.

Do you have a family member who worked at the Tunnel or a special Tunnel memory of your own? We'd love to hear your story!
