Is another international bridge crossing between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, necessary right now?
The proposed Detroit River International Crossing (DRIC) project is duplicative, untimely and unnecessary – viable border crossings already exist in the region. The U.S. Congress and the state of Michigan have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to improve these crossings, including the Ambassador Bridge, Blue Water Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, all of which are well below capacity and equipped to meet future traffic needs. The DRIC is an unnecessary, bi-national project driven by Canadian interests that would be located just about one mile from the Ambassador Bridge and would cost U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars, take years to build and devastate the important community of Delray in Detroit. The only reason that the Ambassador Bridge owner is building its new bridge span is to replace its current 80-year-old structure and use the existing roadways and new highway connections just as the Gateway Project has intended for more than a decade. Why would the U.S. spend scarce
