Aside from trying to bribe and sue his way into being only bridge in town, Matty also wants to put the Detroit Windsor Truck Ferry out of busines as well.

The truck ferry is the only mode designated to transport hazmat trucks across the Detroit River. However, it has been mentioned before that the DIBC has been writing its own permits to transport hazardous materials across the Ambassador Bridge mainly for Matty's trucks.

The DBIC has asked MDOT to change the National Hazardous Materials Route Registry to allow flammable, corrosive, and explosive materials to cross the bridge "Legally."

This would likely put the ferry out of business and eliminate

the primary crossing for very large shipments of oversize, overweight trucks, which are essential in support of manufacturing and energy projects.... and any crossing redundancy, which is essential in the event of a major hazmat-related accident or terrorist attack
