You guys know I live for this stuff.

After all these decades, the privately owned Ambassador Bridge between the US & Canada is going to have competition.

The new Gordie Howe International Bridge will provide increased access to two of the worlds greatest trading partners, and high time too.

Now get your gear on, it's time to do some bridgebuilding.

I still can't believe they haven't built a wall yet to keep us out.

Just today I found a Trump in 2020 hat at my local thrift store, and bought it with a handful of items. The cashier tried to put it in the bag, but I prevented her and asked her if I could use their trash can. She tossed it for me. :lol:
 
It has been quite the struggle to bust the monopoly....no individual or corporation should be allowed to own a bridge and certainly not a border crossing.

As an american i disagree. Everything should be owned and monetized. ESPECIALLY a border crossing.

This is where it gets interesting.

On the US side, American Roads, LLC, managed operations until cash flow problems prompted a voluntary Chapter 11 protection filing.
But after Chapter 11 filing, the City of Detroit filed for bankruptcy, and the scandal of Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, left Canada as the remaining partner as the Windsor-Detroit Tunnel Corporation (Canada).
By 2018 WDTC took over management of all operations and upkeep of the tunnel. An international investment fund management company represents the US side of the tunnel cooperative.

So..... nobody. That's what I thought.

Yes there is, and it's a very old tunnel too.

The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel was completed in 1930:

Note that there's only ONE LANE in each direction. That assured the Ambassador Bridge of a near-monopoly. Very happy to read that this is actually going to happen, though I got wind of it some time ago on a Detroit-related website I belong to.

Thank you for posting this. I noticed that the tunnel doesn't seem especially busy. Does it have heavy traffic at other times?

With only one, narrow lane in each direction, the tunnel is best left to private vehicles.
The commercial traffic prefers the bridge routes.

Not so much since Bingo became legal in Michigan in 1972.
 
We need to put a tunnel under Lake Erie. We should already be half way across with the salt mines that are already there.
 
You know I think this is the perfect name for the new bridge.

It's been a long time in the planning. FWIW, it helped that the eccentric elderly owner of the Ambassador Bridge, Manuel Maroun, passed away.

I just finished Detroit City Is the Place to Be, by Mark Binetti. Maroun figures in the story. He loved his near-monopoly of the border crossing and the profits from the gas station at the bridge approach.

The book is about ten years old, but Detroit grows more unusual. It isn't growing yet. But construction was happening downtown when I was last there a few years ago. I was fascinated by Detroit and want to go back soon.

Binetti mentions that almost every plan to reinvent Detroit fails to mention poor people.

Both Canada and Mexico know to move cautiously in any future "joint" projects with the United States!
