Ambassador Bridge: Offer to buy bridge a "rumor"
Comments 0 | Recommend 0WINDSOR, Ontario (AP) - The president of the Detroit International Bridge Co. says it has never solicited an offer to sell the Ambassador Bridge.
Dan Stamper also calls a report that Transport Canada is in talks to buy the bridge spanning the Detroit River and connecting Windsor, Ontario with Detroit a "rumor."
Stamper says through a spokesman that "if there is truth to the rumor" it acknowledges how well the bridge is run.
Officials have been working for years to add capacity at the border crossing. The Detroit-Windsor border handles more traffic than any other crossing between the U.S. and Canada.
Ambassador Bridge owner Manuel "Matty" Moroun wants to build a second span and opposes a government plan to build a new, six-lane bridge further downriver.
