Ambassador Bridge repairs on hold

WINDSOR, Ont. -- The Ambassador bridge hasn't explained why it has put off $20 million in "critical" repairs, according to the Windsor Star.

Repairs to the main deck on the 80-year old span were supposed to begin in July, but as winter approaches there's been no construction work yet. 

A U.S. safety inspection report released last year warned that the main deck span is in "poor condition," exposing cracks and corroded steel. Overall, though, the report found the bridge to be in "fair condition."

At the time, Ambassador owner Matty Moroun made headlines when he sued to keep the safety report out of the public eye.

According to The Star, bridge company officials declined comment on the status of the project.

In the twin city of minnisota. The bridge fell down because of a lack of repairs. When driving over it you could see through the top layer to the river. Although this ambassodor bridge is a privite affair the government on both side must step in and take it repair it so lives are not lost.
