Fluor, Mich-Can Propose Canadian Border Bridge
- Share via
Engineering and construction giant Fluor Corp. in Aliso Viejo joined with bridge builder Mich-Can International Bridge Co. in proposing construction of a second bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Canada, to speed border crossings.
Fluor’s Fluor Daniel unit and closely held Mich-Can called for the new span across the Detroit River to be a few miles south of the Ambassador Bridge, which along with a tunnel now links the cities.
After the companies build the bridge, the structure would become publicly owned, Mich-Can and Fluor Daniel proposed. They didn’t provide a cost.
If governments in the U.S. and Canada accept the proposal, Fluor Daniel would lead the design and construction, and Mich-Can would build the bridge in four years.
Fluor stock fell $2.11 to close at $60.54 a share on the New York Stock Exchange.
