The Saga Of Enbridge Line 5 Continues

On Friday, July 31, 2026 the Michigan Supreme Court vacated a key permit for the tunnel project that allows Canadian pipeline company Enbridge to traverse its Line 5 Pipeline through the Straits of Mackinac between the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan. The ruling throws the project back into limbo, as the Michigan Public Service Commission now must redo its analysis, further delaying a process that began in 2018.
