> it was owned by Grosse Pointe billionaire Manuel Moroun, until his death in July 2020

It's mentioned on the Gordie Howe bridge page:

"In July 2020, Matty Moroun died aged 93, with his family maintaining their ownership of the Ambassador Bridge. In 2022, the Detroit Free Press reported that Moroun's family were preparing a case for damages, following the acquisition of properties by eminent domain for bridge construction"

It's now owned by his son, Matthew Moroun.
