Summary
The Gordie Howe International Bridge, a $6.4 billion trade powerhouse connecting Windsor and Detroit, is set to open — but politics have derailed the celebratory kickoff. Canada pulled out of the joint ribbon-cutting after Trump announced a 50% tariff on Canadian goods, casting a shadow over the milestone. Built by Canada and poised to slash trucking bottlenecks — especially for the aging Ambassador Bridge — the six-lane span also offers free crossings for pedestrians and cyclists soon. While Michigan won’t see toll revenue for decades, this bridge symbolizes both promise and peril: massive infrastructure amid shifting trade winds.
