## Resource

A brand-new $6.4 billion bridge connecting Canada and the U.S. over the Detroit River is set to open this Monday — a game-changer for trade, jobs, and tourism. Named after hockey legend Gordie Howe, it’s designed to outpace the aging Ambassador Bridge, with six lanes and smoother traffic flow. Canada hosted a ribbon-cutting last week — but U.S. officials were notably snubbed after Trump announced new Canadian tariffs, adding political tension to the celebration. Construction, delayed by the pandemic, was fully funded by Canada, with toll revenue to be shared with the U.S. for 15 years. Big infrastructure, big politics — and the drama’s not over yet.
