American Roads LLC, operator of the Detroit Windsor Tunnel linking the U.S. with Canada, moved closer to shedding $830 million in debt from swaps and bonds after a judge denied a bondholder group’s bid to join the case.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Burton R. Lifland in Manhattan ruled today that an ad-hoc group of investors didn’t have legal standing in the case and therefore couldn’t object to American Roads’ proposed reorganization. Under the plan, holders of $496 million in bonds will receive nothing and ownership of the company will change hands.
