Out of the on-going tug of war between the owner of the Ambassador Bridge, Manuel Moroun, and the officials who want to build a second span over the Detroit River, comes a new idea: an emergency bridge that can be deployed as needed.

But will it float?

The Toronto Star reports on a new idea for a floatable bridge that can be rolled out as back-up for the aging Ambassador Bridge.

Connecting Windsor and Detroit, the Ambassador Bridge is the busiest commercial border crossing in North America with nine million vehicle crossings a year.  Planners in both countries want to build a new structure to replace the deteriorating, 81-year old bridge.

CNN Money reports on the new bridge proposal and the billionaire blocking its way.
