TOPSHOT - Sections of the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline are seen on the construction site near La Salle Lake State Park in Solway, Minnesota on August 7, 2021.
Line 5, which is 73 years old, runs from Superior, Wisconsin, down through Michigan and into Ontario, ending at the refineries in Sarnia, Ontario.
The attempt by Governor Whitmer to shut the pipeline down entirely has led to contentious litigation now both in Federal Appellate Court in Michigan and in Michigan State Court.

Built in 1953, Line 5 transports up to 540,000 barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids.
