Michigan Approves Tunnel Project to Replace Controversial Line 5 Pipeline
The Michigan Public Service Commission has approved a controversial project to relocate a segment of Enbridge's Line 5 oil and natural gas pipeline from the bed of the Straits of Mackinac to a service tunnel beneath it.
The 2-0 vote on December 1 paves the way for the "Great Lakes Tunnel" project, intended to address concerns about the vulnerability of the aging pipeline.
