By The Detroit News

DETROIT — The Michigan Department of Transportation may allow commercial trucks hauling certain hazardous materials such as petroleum and electric vehicle batteries to cross the Ambassador Bridge again, a permit the bridge’s private owners have been seeking for years.

he potential permit would reverse a nearly 30-year ban of Class 3 hazmat — motor fuel, paint and other combustible liquids — as well as Class 8 corrosive materials such as EV batteries from being transported across the 93-year-old span connecting Detroit to Windsor, Ontario.
