While some Michigan funds might be used momentarily, no Michigan funds are ultimately expended under the crossing agreement.The Legislature requires the Transportation Department to keep it informed with various reports, the court said. The bridge, named for a native of Canada who played hockey for the Detroit Red Wings, is expected to open in 2024.
