The fate of a controversial tunnel project for Line 5 is in the hands of the Michigan Public Service Commission, which could decide as early as this summer if the tunnel construction will move forward.

Opponents of the project — mainly, environmentalists and native tribes — as well as proponents — including a variety of business interests and some union workers — have lobbied the three-person commission on issuing a permit to proceed.
