Army Corps Expedites Line 5 Tunnel Review
On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced it will expedite permits for constructing a protective tunnel around the Enbridge Line 5 oil pipeline, which runs beneath a key waterway linking two Great Lakes. This step marks one of the final approvals needed to secure the future of Line 5. The decision follows a January executive order from President Donald Trump, which emphasized reducing U.S. dependence on foreign energy and directed federal agencies to fast-track key energy infrastructure projects. The National, Michigan, and Western Propane Gas Associations (NPGA, MPGA, and WPGA) have all backed legal efforts in support of Line 5.
