The Gordie-Howe International Bridge – Building Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure

With construction well underway, the Gordie Howe International Bridge project will soon add another crossing option to the Windsor-Detroit trade corridor. The new six-lane bridge will provide additional crossing capacity, along with two state-of-the-art ports of entry and a direct highway-to-highway connection to the busiest commercial land gateway between Canada and the US.

Valued at $5.7 billion (CDN), the Gordie Howe International Bridge project is being delivered through a public-private partnership. With sustainability top of mind, the bridge is being constructed to achieve a 125-year lifespan.
