Good morning, Southfield.

Sixty-eight local swimmers will launch a 411 mile relay swim from the Edmund Fitzgerald wreck in Lake Superior to Belle Isle in Detroit on Saturday, July 26 to honor the 29 crew members who lost their lives in 1975—organizer Jim Dreyer said the relay, completed in 17 stages with four swimmers each, will also raise funds for the Whitefish Point Lighthouse. The event is set to make history by delivering a piece of iron ore from the original dock to the mayor of Detroit as a living memorial.

A Southfield man exiting I-94 felt a bullet hit his vehicle during a road rage incident when another driver fired and sped away, and Michigan State Police are investigating the case.

Catholic leaders from about 25 parishes marched Monday from Most Holy Trinity Church in Corktown to ICE’s Regional Office downtown — they attempted to deliver a letter decrying aggressive tactics but were turned away by officials.

Officials confirmed that the final U.S. tower crane will be removed by the end of this week, marking a key milestone in construction on the Gordie Howe International Bridge that connects Detroit to Windsor—workers continue finishing tasks like installing lighting and completing a multi-use path. The half-mile main span will be the 10th-longest cable-stayed bridge in the world and the longest in North America, with the bridge expected to open this fall.
