Michigan Supreme Court hears arguments on Enbridge's tunnel permit for Line 5 under the Straits of Mackinac, with a 2026 ruling expected to decide its fate.
The Michigan Supreme Court heard arguments over the state’s approval of a permit for Enbridge’s proposed tunnel to reroute a 4-mile segment of the aging Line 5 pipeline beneath the Straits of Mackinac.
Enbridge contends the tunnel is the safest option and essential to preventing spills, while tribal nations and environmental groups argue the state’s environmental review was inadequate and failed to fully address risks to the Great Lakes as a public trust resource.
The court, with no indication of its stance, is expected to rule later in 2026, with the decision potentially determining the pipeline’s future amid ongoing legal challenges.
