The impact to highway traffic, and local operations, within Ontario, and
Quebec, will result in service delays.
As a reminder, Monday, February 21st, is the provincial
Family Day holiday. All operations in Ontario will be closed in
recognition of the holiday.
Operations in the province of Quebec will remain open.
Pick-up, delivery, or line-haul services in Ontario on Monday can be
requested through our Priority Service. The Priority Team is
available by email at priorityshipment@speedy.ca.
Any request(s) should be made today to allow for proper planning of resources.
Late last night, protesters blocked any remaining access
to the Ambassador Bridge from Canada. There
is now no access to this port of entry from the United States or Canada.
Traffic continues to be diverted to the Bluewater
Bridge connecting Port Huron, MI and Sarnia, ON. This has caused a backlog of traffic moving
from Port Huron into Sarnia. Additionally,
a section of highway 402, east of Sarnia, is closed due to protesting but a detour
is available.
This will continue causing delays for shipments moving
between the United States and Canada.
We appreciate your patience and apologize for any
inconvenience(s) experienced related to these delays.
Service Advisory Notification
The Ambassador Bridge is closed to traffic from the United
States to Canada while access to the bridge in Windsor, ON is restricted due to
the ongoing protests. Officials on both
sides of the border are recommending travellers to use the Bluewater Bridge,
connecting Port Huron, MI and Sarnia, ON.
The additional traffic moving to Bluewater Bridge has
created a backup moving northbound and highway 402, east of Sarnia, has been closed
due to new protests.
This will continue causing delays for shipments moving
between the United States and Canada.
We appreciate your patience and apologize for any
inconvenience(s) experienced related to these delays.
Ambassador Bridge, linking Windsor and Detroit, was closed overnight due to protests. This has created a backlog of traffic moving between the United States and Canada. The border crossing has recently reopened but it will take several hours for the backlog to subside.
This will cause delays for shipments moving between the United States and Canada.
We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience(s) experienced related to these delays.

All,
Service Advisory Notification
The forecasted winter storm has caused dangerous road conditions throughout Central Canada. Snow is expected to continue falling in some areas until late Monday.
Pickup and delivery services will be delayed throughout SZTG’s service area.
We appreciate your patience, and apologize for any inconvenience(s) experienced related to these delays.
Respectfully,

There are extensive delays at points of entry into
Canada due to a work-to-rule action by officers of the CBSA. Heavily
travelled land entry points into Ontario and Quebec are currently seeing delays
in excess of two hours. Those delays are expected to increase as the
action continues. Negotiations between the union for border service
officers and the governing agencies are ongoing.
This will cause delays
with all northbound traffic into Canada.
