Gordie Howe International Bridge could open to traffic June 15, reports say

The long-awaited Gordie Howe International Bridge, a $4.7 billion project connecting Detroit and Windsor, is expected to reach a major milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony set for Friday and the bridge potentially opening to traffic days later, according to multiple reports. Although officials have repeatedly said the bridge would open this spring, no specific date has been confirmed by the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority, though June 15 has been reported as a possible opening day. The project, jointly owned by Michigan and Canada, has faced political complications, including demands from former President Trump for compensation and ongoing U.S.-Canada trade tensions. The bridge is described as a vital economic link, with further details expected to be announced soon.
