North American Automakers Getting Back on Schedule After Ambassador Bridge Cleared of Truck Convoy
DETROIT—Production at North American automotive factories is getting back on schedule after last week’s truck-convoy protests on the Ambassador Bridge disrupted the flow of goods between between the United States and Canada.
The bridge protests, which lasted from February 7 to 11, had begun to cause shortages of auto parts that forced Toyota, Honda, General Motors and Ford to close plants or cancel shifts at several plants. Ambassador Bridge is the busiest U.S.-Canadian border crossing, reportedly carrying 25 percent of all goods shipped between the two countries.
