There have been many voices speaking up in favor of a second bridge between Detroit and Windsor.
Top Canadian officials, Gov. Rick Snyder, big business all hunger for this planned new bridge to be built about two miles south of the Ambassador Bridge.
But one of those speaking up for a new bridge is someone who stands to lose his livelihood once the bridge is up and carrying traffic.
Gregg Ward operates the Detroit-Windsor Truck Ferry. It carries the trucks hauling hazardous materials across the Detroit River, since the Ambassador Bridge is not certified for trucks carrying cargos like gasoline or paint.
Ward says it's the larger picture that matters, even if that means putting him out of job.
"One of the benefits of this project is, there will be thousands and thousands of jobs, and thousands and thousands of families that will benefit. We have to look at this as a very large regional project that will expand our opportunity ... not just look at ourselves," says Ward.
