Once completed, the bridge will span 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) across the Detroit River, connecting Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario.
The bridge's design features two striking towers, each standing 220 meters (722 feet) tall, making them the tallest structures in the region.
The bridge honors Gordie Howe, a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played 26 seasons in the NHL, primarily for the Detroit Red Wings.
The bridge is expected to facilitate over $100 billion in trade between the U.S. and Canada annually, significantly boosting the local economy.
The project includes measures to protect local wildlife and minimize environmental impact, such as creating new habitats and monitoring air quality.
The project includes community investments like new parks, trails, and improved infrastructure in the surrounding neighborhoods.
The bridge will feature multi-use paths, allowing for safe and scenic travel across the border on foot or by bike.
