Background: The Detroit and Windsor connection is the busiest trade corridor between the United States and Canada. The limited capacity of this single crossing currently hinders the speed of delivery of both finished goods and part supplies for Michigan manufacturers. The Michigan Department of Transportation and the Canadian government have agreed upon plans for the expansion of the “Detroit River International Crossing,” known as DRIC.
MMA Position: MMA supports the efforts of the Michigan Department of Transportation to pursue options for an additional bridge connection to Canada over the Detroit River.
