## Resource

The new Gordie Howe International Bridge is set to open soon, promising to redirect heavy truck traffic away from southwest Detroit’s asthma-ridden neighborhoods — but not without skepticism. While the Canadian government poured billions into road upgrades, noise barriers, and pedestrian paths, longtime advocates warn that areas like Delray may still bear the brunt of truck congestion. With Detroit already the nation’s asthma capital, residents are cautiously hopeful that the bridge’s redesigned routes and new enforcement measures — including a dedicated police unit and residential truck bans — will finally ease the pollution and noise that have plagued the community for decades.
