A U.S. federal review of Enbridge’s proposed $500-million Great Lakes tunnel project has been pushed back by more than a year.
The company said Thursday it was “disappointed” by news that the timeline of a U.S. federal review of Enbridge’s proposed $500-million Great Lakes tunnel project has been pushed back by more than a year.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Thursday it now expects to complete its draft environmental impact statement for Enbridge’s Line 5 tunnel permit application in spring 2025, rather than late 2023 as earlier indicated.In an emailed statement, Enbridge spokesman Ryan Duffy said the USACE’s decision to extend the permitting process further delays the replacement of the dual pipelines in Michigan’s Straits of Mackinac, and will essentially push the start of construction until at least 2026.
Enbridge’s Great Lakes tunnel project is intended to house a replacement segment of its existing Line 5 oil pipeline that crosses the bottom of the straits connecting Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. The company said the tunnel will be bored through rock, as much as 100 feet below the lakebed, to “virtually eliminate” the chance of a pipeline spill affecting the Great Lakes.
