DETROIT - U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Detroit Field Office reminds all travelers that land border crossings are closed to all non-essential travelers. All essential travelers, to include returning U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, and those engaged in commercial trade, are permitted to cross into the United States. 

The Detroit Field Office includes major land ports of entry throughout Michigan including the Ambassador Bridge and Detroit Windsor Tunnel in Detroit, Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron, and the International Bridge in Sault Ste. Marie.

“CBP is aware and sensitive that the Easter holiday is a time where many families and worshippers cross the border,” said Director of Field Operations Christopher Perry. “Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we ask that those non-essential travelers make alternate plans during this difficult time.”
