Detroit Free Press reports that yesterday, June 12, “the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit scheduled a hearing for mid-September on an appeal filed by the owner of the Ambassador Bridge to stop a rival international span between Detroit and Canada from being built nearby.” The newspaper adds that the court’s action “keeps alive a lawsuit that has gone on now for seven years. In it, [the Moroun-owned Detroit International Bridge Company] argues that Congress’ original 1921 act approving construction of the bridge between Detroit and Windsor was effectively an exclusive franchise. . . .”
