The Mackinac Straits Corridor Authority (MSCA), tasked with overseeing building and operating a utility tunnel beneath the Straits of Mackinac, will meet Wednesday to discuss past and ongoing exploratory and planning work for the tunnel. A copy of the full agenda is available at the MSCA website.
The meeting will be available to watch live on YouTube and Livestream.
It will be held in-person at the Little Bear East Arena in St. Ignace from 10:00 until 1:00 on Wednesday.
Written public comment to the MSCA may be submitted via the MSCA Public Comment Form. Anyone attending the public meeting in person will be required to wear a mask per State of Michigan guidelines. Little Bear Arena may be subject to limitations on gatherings. Each person who chooses to provide public comment at the meeting venue will have up to three minutes to address the MSCA.
The tunnel will house a replacement segment for the Enbridge Line 5 light oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) pipelines that currently sit on the bottom of the Straits and will accommodate other utilities to improve infrastructure connections between the peninsulas. MSCA will own the tunnel after it’s built and provide independent oversight throughout its life.
