Another project that could be added to either of these lists depending on what day it is is the $2.2 billion Detroit River International Crossing/New International Trade Crossing, which will finally offer a direct, seemless freeway-to-freeway connection between Windsor's provincial highway system and Detroit's interstate routes, and create a redundancy for the narrow and aging (and privately-owned) Ambassador Bridge. Currently, on boths sides the Ambassador Bridges truck traffic begins and ends on surface streets before being directed to the controlled-access freeways.

There is talk that Governor Snyder will try to bypass the legislature (which is bought and paid for by the privately-owned bridge owner), and just order it built. Even Ohio's Republican-led legislature recently passed a resolution urging the building of the bridge, so it's not even a partisan thing, anymore.
