Most important tasks have been completed on the Gordie Howe International Bridge, according to a federal briefing note. However, legal challenges may delay the trial until 2027 or 2028.

The new bridge aims to improve trade flow and provide additional capacity in the Windsor-Detroit corridor. Trucking associations are eagerly awaiting the opening of the bridge, as it promises lower tolls and better logistics for carriers. Despite delays and increased costs, the project team remains optimistic about opening the bridge in the spring.
