January 31, 2014
The Michigan Department of Transportation has denied a bid by Ambassador Bridge owner Manuel (Matty) Moroun to let more hazardous materials cross his bridge than currently allowed by law.
In announcing the denial, MDOT region engineer Tony Kratofil said that public safety would not be enhanced by allowing corrosive or flammable materials to cross the bridge.
