Mr. President. the Ambassador Bridge is the single greatest border crossing in the United States. Almost 10 million vehicles cross the bridge each year. almost 3 million commercial vehicles. as many as 10.000 trucks per day. It constitutes. in terms of business activity. almost $350 billion a year in trade for the United States. In fact. 26 percent of all United StatesCanada trade traverses the Ambassador Bridge. That trade is expected to increase by 180 percent by the year 2015. which would translate into almost 5.4 million commercial vehicles a year. This major trade artery is not connected directly to any of the nearby interstates however.
