On Friday, June 15, the administration of Governor Rick Snyder entered into an agreement with Canada to construct a new bridge from Detroit, Michigan to Windsor, Ontario. The Crossing Agreement provides a framework for a Crossing Authority established by Canada to design, construct, finance, operate and maintain a new International Crossing between Canada and Michigan, under the oversight of a jointly established International Authority with three members appointed by Canada and the Crossing Authority and three members appointed by the Michigan Parties, and with funding approved by Canada, but with no funding by the Michigan Parties. The Michigan Parties (Governor, Michigan Department of Transportation and the Michigan Strategic Fund) are not obligated to pay any of the costs of the new International Crossing.
