Tales from the Gordie Howe Bridge Project

Join Walt Bolt (Mannik and Smith) and Steve Hoin (EGLE)

The Canadian Government is financing a new international bridge between Detroit and Windsor. The Ambassador Bridge is the busiest international bridge crossing between the two counties and a replacement is critical to that continued traffic. The effort includes the acquisition of nearly 1000 properties on the US side. The property transfer is being facilitated by an agreement between EGLE and MDOT using a modified AAI process designed to accelerate the acquisition and to allow for cooperative decision making toward due care compliance. The project has encountered a myriad of environmental issues as a result of the industrial history of the area. Contaminants include PCB’s, Asbestos, TCE, PFAS, pesticides, ubiquitous lead and multiple UST’s etc. The project team has developed many innovative solutions, which will be outlined.
