The bridge facilitates over 25% of all trade between the United States and Canada, making it a critical infrastructure for both countries.
The bridge was constructed in 1929 without any government funding, a rare feat for such a significant infrastructure project.
It is one of the few major international bridges in the world that is privately owned, currently by the Detroit International Bridge Company.
Upon its completion in 1929, it held the record for the longest central span of any suspension bridge until the George Washington Bridge opened in 1931.
Plans for a new bridge, the Gordie Howe International Bridge, are underway to alleviate congestion and provide a modern crossing alternative.
The toll plaza is open around the clock to accommodate the constant flow of commercial and passenger vehicles crossing the border.
