DETROIT — The Michigan Court of Appeals will not hear arguments from the Detroit International Bridge that it should keep a new duty-free store and toll booths at the Ambassador Bridge.

The company requested for a stay pending appeal of a Wayne County Circuit Court ruling in February that ordered the new amenities be dismantled because they were illegally built on city-owned land.

At the time, Circuit Judge Prentice Edwards said the bridge company had three weeks to submit a plan to remove the facilities.

It remains unclear whether the bridge company will immediately comply with Judge Edwards’ order or if it will take the case to the Michigan Supreme Court.

The Michigan Dept. of Transportation filed suit last year that claimed that the store and fuel pumps were built on city land and not in accordance with the approved Ambassador Gateway project, which established new ramps and connections to the bridge and highway.

The Feb. 1 ruling also indicated that the bridge company illegally built a truck lane on Fort Street and didn’t build ramps or access roads it should have as part of its contractual role in the Gateway project.
