Michigan and Canada agreed to build a second bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, to compete with the Ambassador crossing that has connected the two cities since 1929.
The New International Trade Crossing will bolster Michigan’s $70 billion-a-year trade with Canada, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Governor Rick Snyder said today at a press conference in Windsor.
