Summary
The Gordie Howe International Bridge, a $6.4 billion six-lane link between Windsor and Detroit, finally opens — all paid for by Canada — but a last-minute Trump-era renegotiation forces Ottawa to hand over half its revenue to the U.S. for 15 years, worsening an already lopsided deal. With cross-border traffic declining and operating costs looming, critics question if the bridge will even break even — let alone pay off its debt. Yet local leaders still tout its long-term economic and security benefits, turning a messy financial saga into a symbol of enduring transnational connection.
