| Description |
More than 8,000 trucks cross the Detroit border each day, nearly all crossing on a single bridge generating significant delays and producing a transportation bottleneck. Through an agreement between the United States and Canada, a new bridge across the Detroit River is being planned to assist in reducing these delays. The addition of a second bridge across the Detroit River will not only decrease delays, but increase economic competitiveness of the region. The proposed New International Trade Crossing Bridge is estimated to save the United States and Canada $17.8 billion in lost revenue due to delays by 2030. |
