court order

Ambassador Bridge company president Dan Stamper told us they intend to fully comply with a court order on completing the Gateway project in conformity with a Judge's order and he's confident they'll meet the deadline of January 2012. Stamper said he was speaking out via the press because of what he said was an inaccurate impression the company was defying the court.

The Ambassador Bridge company suffered defeat today in a court case brought by Michigan DOT for breach of contract. Judge Prentis Edwards of Wayne County Circuit Court in a 15-page ruling found the Bridge company to be in violation of its contract commitments by failing to build its part of the Gateway Project (upgraded links to I-75 and I-96) as agreed in 2004.
