Michigan Enbridge agree to replace Line 5 with a tunnel plan
Gov. Snyder and Enbridge unveil a plan to decommission twin 65 year old Line 5 pipes by drilling a bedrock tunnel beneath the Straits of Mackinac. The project, estimated at 350 to 500 million dollars and lasting seven to ten years, would end oil transit in the straits once the new line is operational. In the interim, about 23 million gallons of oil and NGLs would continue to move daily through the existing lines. Environmental groups urge faster action, while Enbridge says pipes remain in good condition and the tunnel is years away.
