## Resource

The Gordie Howe International Bridge, a six-lane, mile-and-a-half-long marvel connecting Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, opens Monday — a game-changer for U.S.-Canada trade. Named after hockey legend Gordie Howe, the $6.4 billion project (fully funded by Canada) aims to break the Ambassador Bridge’s monopoly and inject healthy competition. Construction, delayed by the pandemic, finally delivers after starting in 2018. While the U.S. and Canada initially planned a joint celebration, tensions flared over new U.S. tariffs, killing the event. Pedestrians and cyclists will soon enjoy free access, and toll revenue will be shared for 15 years — with Michigan potentially getting a slice once Canada recoups its investment.
