The Honourable Sean Fraser, Canada’s Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities, and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer celebrated the latest milestone in the Gordie Howe International Bridge construction: the completion of the bridge deck connecting Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan. Joined by U.S. Federal Highway Administrator Shailen Bhatt, the Mayor of Windsor, and senior officials, the celebration marked the bridge becoming an official border crossing.
The Gordie Howe International Bridge, at 853 meters (0.53 miles), is the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America and the tenth longest worldwide. This new crossing, the first between Ontario and Michigan in over 60 years, enhances the Windsor-Detroit trade corridor. “The bridge is a symbol of Michigan-Canada friendship and effective collaboration, boosting our economies and facilitating commerce and commuting,” said Governor Whitmer.
