6th Circuit Green Lights International Bridge
Construction of a new Canadian-U.S. bridge through the Delray neighborhood of Detroit will continue despite the objections of community organizations and the owners of the only other international bridge in the city, the 6th Circuit ruled.
A three-judge panel rejected the appeals of six community groups and the Detroit International Bridge Company, after deciding that the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) had considered reasonable alternatives and conducted sufficient environmental testing.
The proposed bridge, known as the Detroit River International Crossing (DRIC), would supplement the existing Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor.
