Summary
The Gordie Howe International Bridge hit 340,000 crossings in its first month—nearly matching the Ambassador Bridge’s traffic—but with a key difference: it’s packed with passenger cars while trucks still favor the older bridge due to existing contracts. The tunnel still leads in car traffic, but Canadians are already using the new bridge for same-day trips across the border. As initial buzz fades, the real test begins: can this new crossing become a permanent fixture—or will truckers and commuters keep circling back to the old standby?
