Enbridge instead is moving forward with plans to bore a $500 million tunnel in bedrock beneath the Straits of Mackinac to hold the Line 5 pipelines. The Michigan Legislature approved a deal for the tunnel shortly before former Gov. Rick Snyder left office in December 2018.

Enbridge contends that the tunnel would contain any spilled oil if Line 5 ever ruptures, preventing it from contaminating the Great Lakes. Environmentalists disagree and remain concerned that the twin pipelines pose a hazard to the ecosystem in the Straits.
