So we all agree that the Gordie Howe Bridge shouldn't move forward? Our dollar is worth 30% less than when this project was proposed, that means Canadian tax payers would be on the hook for even more money. Also government can't create competition with a privately owned company, it's just not right. Plus traffic numbers are too low to even warrant a new crossing. Surveys show future traffic numbers growing but I'm skeptical, they're definitely not trending that way. And finally, Moroun owns at least 20 properties on the Detroit side that would need to be acquired for the bridge to be constructed. He owns a huge piece of property exactly where the proposed bridge would touch down in Detroit. What's the government going to do? Declare eminent domain on all 20 properties?
This thing is never going to happen and rightfully so.
