" In the case of the new bridge over the Detroit river,..."

Funny you should bring that up: that's the one where the government is using eminent domain for the express purpose of putting a private company, the Ambassador Bridge Co., out of business.

Is THAT a legitimate use?

Whoever told you it will put the Ambassador bridge and Detroit's favorite slumlord and democrat donor out of business is a liar and an idiot.

Detroit is the second busiest freight crossing on the continent and it runs across a nearly 90 year old two lane bridge that Matty Maroun is apparently going to allow to fall into the river. Its already a serious bottleneck where trucks often wait for hours to get across only to empty onto Windsor city streets. There is also the rather dubious constitutionality of a single man owning a federal border crossing.



Maroun has interests in several large trucking companies and can work to route them across his bridge. He'll still see a couple hundred thousand trucks per year and the rest will be free to take the new route south of Windsor.

The kind of scum that Matty Maroun is.
