This'll be the end of Moroun. He's going to lose a fortune once the new bridge gets built. Who would take the Ambassador Bridge? Local commuters would stick to the tunnel.
They'll still be traffic to the bridge - for example, nurses heading from Windsor to Henry Ford and all the suburban hospitals, or those wanting access to points north. Unfortunately, the new bridge isn't the most direct to I-94 West (DTW, Ann Arbor) or I-96. The old bridge might still save some time, especially that the gap to the 401 is still reduced, and that much, if not most, of the traffic would be diverted.
But it does sink Moroun's dreams of a twinned Ambassador Bridge, and hopefully puts an end to his slumlording on both sides of the river.
