I raised the issue of national security in terms of a redundant downriver crossing. DRIC arises from a long binational process begun post-9/11 to address issues like border gridlock. In the aftermath of 9/11, I was working on the assembly line at Chrysler. The Pillette Road Truck Assembly Plant was shut down within days because the border was shut down. They were ferrying limited supplies of car parts across the river for as long as they could.

I believe this binational process examined 18 possible corridors for a crossing. Is that correct?
