#1 fwiw,

The Detroit-Windsor Bridge aka the Ambassador Bridge is privately owned. It is the most heavily used US/canada crossing. The State of MI and Province of Ontario are planning a new bridge and there is bad blood between the pro new bridge and anti new bridge factions as well as people who don't like the company that runs the Ambassador Bridge (same company has trucking company subsidiaries in both the US and Canada).

And the owner of the bridge and truck companies is an ethnic Arab (I think christian) who is disliked by many blacks in city government.

#2 From Detroit Free Press: Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and others pushing for a new international bridge across the Detroit River today pointed to Mondays closure of the Ambassador Bridge after a bomb threat as one more reason to build the bridge. It is absolutely the last refuge of scoundrels to try and capitalize on security for political gain. Unless they are now saying the government bridge is bomb proof, the governor and Tom Shields are just being irresponsible, said Mickey Blashfield, the existing bridge companys director of government relations.
