A bridge battle is brewing in Detroit having to do with the Moroun family’s plan to build a new span across the Detroit River. To do that, they need a key piece of land that was promised to them years ago by the city.

The restaurant filed an injunction in August to prevent a fence from being installed. It wasn’t granted until Wednesday, the day after the fence went up.

When residents complained about loud trucks rolling through their Pingree Park neighborhood at all hours, they were promised the traffic would stop.

DETROIT The Michigan appeals court ruled in favor of the state Thursday in a challenge to a second bridge being built between Detroit and Canada. Companies controlled by the Moroun family, owners of the Ambassador Bridge, sued over the condemnation of land to make room for the Gordie Howe International Bridge. Canada assumed financial responsibility for the project, and any money spent by Michigan is reimbursed by Canada, the appeals court said. 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.
