Gordie Howe Bridge toll prices: How much it will cost per type of vehicle

Bridge expected to open to traffic this spring

DETROIT – The toll prices for the new Gordie Howe International Bridge have been revealed, broken down by the type of vehicle.

The new bridge connects I-75 in Detroit to Highway 401 in Ontario. The Detroit Regional Chamber called it “the most consequential infrastructure project in the state.”

The Gordie Howe Bridge is owned by Michigan and Canada, but is being paid for almost entirely by Canada. While the bridge does not have an official opening date, it is still expected to open to traffic this spring.

On Wednesday, March 11, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority announced both the toll prices and Breakaway, a toll discount program that allows vehicles to pass through toll lanes without having to stop and pay.

The following prices are listed in USD

Commercial Vehicles$8.75 per axle $6.90 per axle
Hazardous or Oversized Vehicles$8.75 per axle$6.90 per axle

With Breakaway, the toll for passenger vehicles is less than half the current price to cross the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, both of which raised their tolls this year.
