Falling concrete closes streets under Ambassador Bridge in Windsor
Read full article: Falling concrete closes streets under Ambassador Bridge in WindsorWINDSOR, Ontario – It was a 22-inch hunk of concrete that fell on Windsor that spurred the city into action, shutting down multiple roads under the Ambassador Bridge and calling out the structural engineers. The Ambassador Bridge's owner, Manuel "Matty" Moroun, lays the blame for any issues on Windsor and the government of Canada, saying they're getting the run around. "The game of holding the Ambassador Bridge rebuild work at bay until the government can get their bridge built is a dangerous one," said Moroun. The city of Windsor calls foul on that claim and said the bridge company can repair damage without any permission from the city. Windsor said it plans to meet with bridge representatives to determine what needs to be done before streets will reopen.
