WARNING: This story contains a mention of suicide.
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.
In a statement late Saturday, Customs and Immigration Union said a border officer died by suicide in Windsor. “Incidents such as this one bring to light the challenges public safety personnel may be confronted with throughout their career,” it said in a statement that offered condolences to the family.
Around 3:15 p.m., police and the CBSA said the bridge had reopened.
Traffic into the United States was not affected.
