The New International Trade Crossing would span the Detroit River. A Michigan election board deadlocked on a ballot proposal measure today that could put up a roadblock for the new trade crossing.

The Board of State Canvassers deadlocks on the ballot proposal that would require public votes to construct a new international bridge. The measure is backed by the owners of the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit, who are trying to block a competing bridge. They could now go to court to get on the ballot.
