Residents in Windsor's east end are facing significant travel disruptions today as local authorities have completely shut down a section of Queens Line for what's being described as an "active investigation."
The closure affects Queens Line between 8th Concession and Belle River Road in the Tecumseh area, with Windsor police establishing a substantial perimeter around the investigation site. Motorists are being forced to find alternative routes as police vehicles and emergency responders have blocked access to the area.
What we know so far:
- The closure began unexpectedly Tuesday morning
- Police have not released specific details about the nature of the investigation
- No estimated reopening time has been provided
- Multiple emergency vehicles are on scene
Local commuters and residents are expressing frustration and concern on social media, with many wondering about the nature of the police activity and how long the major arterial road will remain inaccessible.
Alternative routes suggested:
- Use County Road 22 as a north-south bypass
- Manning Road provides east-west access north of the closure
- Lesperance Road offers additional detour options
The Windsor Police Service has confirmed the investigation is ongoing but has declined to provide additional details at this time, citing the active nature of their work. Community members are advised to avoid the area entirely and monitor official police social media channels for updates on when Queens Line might reopen to traffic.
This developing story has left many Windsor residents on edge, particularly given the unusual nature of such a prolonged road closure in this typically quiet suburban area. As the investigation continues, more details are expected to emerge throughout the day.
