From Wikipedia: The Gordie Howe International Bridge (French: Pont international Gordie-Howe) is a cable-stayed bridge across the Detroit River. The international crossing connects Detroit, Michigan, United States with Windsor, Ontario, Canada by linking Interstate 75 in Michigan with Highway 401 in Ontario (through the Rt. Hon. Herb Gray Parkway extension of Highway 401). The bridge, owned equally by Canada and the state of Michigan, provides uninterrupted freeway traffic flow, as opposed to the configuration with the nearby Ambassador Bridge that connects to city streets on the Ontario side. The bridge is named after Canadian ice hockey player Gordie Howe, whose celebrated career included 25 years with the Detroit Red Wings, and who died two years before construction began. First proposed in the early 2000s, the project was met with prominent opposition by Ambassador Bridge owner Manuel "Matty" Moroun, who believed competition from a publicly owned bridge would reduce his revenue. A Canadian federal Crown corporation, the Windsor–Detroit Bridge Authority, was established in 2012 to coordinate the bridge's construction and management. Environmental approvals and other permits were approved in the United States and Canada in the early 2010s. The "Bridging North America" consortium was selected in July 2018 to design, build, operate and maintain the bridge, and construction began that month. The CA$3.8 billion cost of construction was funded by the Canadian federal government and will be paid for by bridge tolls. Construction of the bridge was completed in June 2026, inaugurated on July 24, 2026, and opened to traffic on July 27, 2026. Southbound-To Canada: 0:00 Northbound-To USA: 6:40
