After eight years of construction, more than a quarter-century of planning, and months of international political issues, the Gordie Howe International Bridge is finally set to open next Monday, July 27.

The opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge has been delayed.

The opening of a Canadian-U.S. bridge across the Detroit River, which President Donald Trump had previously threatened to block, has been delayed due to unresolved issues.

Newly announced toll prices for the Gordie Howe Bridge are significantly lower than those of the Ambassador Bridge and Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, with passenger vehicles benefiting the most.

Southwest Detroit is nearly 20 square miles, bordered by two rivers, three major highways, and the busiest border crossing in North America.

Is the construction on the Gordie Howe International Bridge delayed until next year?

The potential delay centers around readiness issues at the ports of entry on both sides of the Detroit-Windsor crossing, though construction of the bridge itself is 98% complete.

The new Gordie Howe International Bridge is nearing completion on connecting the U.S. and Canadian bridge decks.

Even if May doesn’t turn out to be the month for the milestone moment of the decks being connected, that occasion should occur this summer.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge opening has been delayed until fall 2025.
