MICHIGAN WARNING - DRIC / AMBASSODOR BRIDGE

WARNING TO MICHIGAN GOVERNOR, LEGISLATORS - US SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES !!

The BLUE WATER BRIDGE is closed - and has been for a couple of days due to snow and ice - all trucks are standing bye on the Canadian 402 highway or been re-routed to the Ambassador Bridge, in Detroit, which is causing long long long backups on I-75 and caused the closing of an auto plant in Flint, because of a parts shortage.

Detroit, Michigan, and the country needs the Detroit River International Crossing (DRIC) and needs the twin Ambassador Bridge (because of age) eventually the original Ambassador Bridge will need to be closed and demolished, leaving Michigan and Ontario with only two bridges to handle vehicle and truck international traffic. If Maroun can build his bridge without public funds and get Canadian approval - let him.

There should be NO more delays..the Blue Water Bridge closing is a early WARNING of things that can happen to the Ambassador Bridge, which has no backup..

The DRIC and Ambassador Bridge are too important to Michigan, Canada and the USA to delay because of petty bickering or be influenced by campaign money.

The Governor and Legislature should come together and get the DRIC approved in the first week of the new Legislative session - NO delays NO excuses...
