Hoekstra denies Moroun family donation behind Gordie Howe Bridge delay

The Moroun family has opposed the Gordie Howe Bridge project, which could be seen as a threat to their bottom line, for years. The Department of Homeland Security says three million commercial vehicles crossed the Ambassador Bridge, which connects Windsor, Ont., and Detroit, Michigan, in 2025. But that figure is expected to drop to about 1.6 million vehicles after the Gordie Howe Bridge opens.
