Michigan seeks fines for Ambassador Bridge
DETROIT (AP) -- The Michigan Department of Transportation has requested monetary sanctions against the Detroit International Bridge Co. for failing to complete court-ordered work on the $230 million Ambassador Bridge Gateway Project.
Assistant Attorney General Robert Mol asked Wayne County Circuit Judge Prentis Edwards last Thursday to order Ambassador Bridge operators to pay $100,000 per day for each item not completed, unless the company removes a bridge support pier on the site.
The bridge company is being sued by transportation officials over work on the joint project designed to link traffic from nearby freeways to the bridge between Detroit and Canada.
Bridge company attorney Reginald Turner asked that both sides work with Edwards on what needs to be done to complete the project.
The judge adjourned the hearing without issuing a ruling.
