Canada confirms Gordie Howe International Bridge will open this week

sportsJun 10, 2026181,009

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday the Gordie Howe International Bridge linking Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan will 'be open at the end of the week.' The long-delayed, multi-billion-dollar crossing was held up for years by lawsuits, cost overruns and political fights tied to the Moroun family's control of the existing Ambassador Bridge, and it will provide a new commercial link across the Detroit River. The White House says former President Donald Trump's opposition 'has not changed', which leaves U.S. approvals and cross-border operations unresolved even as Canada sets an opening date.

After 8 years, Gordie Howe Bridge between Detroit and Windsor is ready to open. But Trump has threatened to block it after owner of rival span makes a political donation. Bad for Michigan. Bad for America. www.crainsdetroit.com/politics-pol...
