| Ambassador Bridge needs work Inspection reports: Ambassador Bridge needs work Quote:
The Detroit International Bridge Co., which operates the Ambassador Bridge, criticized the decision to release the 2007 report. The report previously had been reviewed by state, federal and Canadian officials, but hadn’t been made public. The company said it typically uses what is found in the report to help guide maintenance and repair.
DEARBORN, Mich. — Details released Thursday about the two most recent annual inspection reports on the Ambassador Bridge indicate the 80-year-old international span was structurally sound but had cracked concrete, rusted railings and corrosion.
U.S. Rep. John Dingell’s office handed out copies of 17 summary pages of a 2007 inspection report to the media that describe the privately owned bridge linking Detroit and Windsor, Ontario as “in overall fair condition.”
“The public has the right to know the physical condition of the bridge,” the Democratic congressman, who obtained the report under the Freedom of Information Act, said during a conference call from Washington.
