Michigan House OKs entry in Canada bridge project

By Bill Shea/Associated Press


The Democratic-led Michigan House narrowly passed legislation this afternoon that would let the state get involved in a project to build a new $5.3 billion bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.

The 56-51 vote Wednesday mostly along party lines is a partial victory for supporters of the proposed Detroit River International Crossing to connect Michigan and Canada. But it's unclear if the legislation will pass the Republican-led state Senate, which is the next step needed for the project to advance.
