Gordie Howe Bridge Opens, Trump’s Blockade Effort Falls Short

A $4.5 billion Gordie Howe International Bridge between Detroit and Windsor opened to traffic after Canada and the United States reached a last‑minute side deal amid President Trump’s threat to block it. Canada funded the 1.5‑mile span and will share toll revenue with Michigan once its investment is recouped; amid tariff tensions, Canada canceled a joint inauguration, celebrating the milestone among Canadians only, underscoring the bridge’s role in cross‑border trade.

Gordie Howe Bridge Set to Open to Traffic July 27 Under US-Canada Deal

The Gordie Howe International Bridge will open to traffic on July 27 under a Canada-Michigan agreement with U.S. government backing. The deal includes toll governance provisions, a 50% U.S. share of toll revenue with veto power on certain increases, and a 15-year economic development fund linked to bridge profits. Commercial shippers can use the Breakaway toll program at about $6.90 per axle. Leaders from Michigan and Canada welcomed the opening after lengthy negotiations and prior delays.
