The Gordie Howe International Bridge project is a once-in-a-generation undertaking. Not only will the project deliver much-needed transportation improvements for international travellers, it will also provide jobs and opportunities for growth to the Windsor-Detroit region and includes features that make this project truly distinctive.
The project is being delivered through a public-private partnership (P3). A public-private partnership is a long-term performance- based approach to procuring public infrastructure where the private sector assumes a major share of the risks in terms of financing and construction and ensuring effective performance of the infrastructure, from design and planning, to long-term maintenance.

Le projet du Pont International Gordie Howe est une entreprise générationnelle unique. Ce projet va non seulement grandement améliorer le transport pour les voyageurs internationaux, il offrira également des emplois et des opportunités de croissance dans la région Windsor-Détroit et possède des caractéristiques qui le rendent véritablement distinct.
Le projet du pont international Gordie-Howe est réalisé par l’entremise d’un partenariat public-privé (PPP). Un partenariat public-privé est une approche d'approvisionnement d'infrastructure publique à long terme et basée sur la performance pour laquelle le secteur privé assume la majeure partie des risques en ce qui concerne le financement et la construction, et assure le rendement efficace de l’infrastructure, de la conception et de la planification, jusqu’à l’entretien à long terme.

Heartfelt congratulations to all those workers who participated in the construction of this truly magnificent bridge. I must admit to having a lump in my throat seeing the two steel workers, one from the US and the other from Canada, meeting on the last girder and shaking hands between the flags of our two countries. That picture symbolizes a record setting and historically significant event for Canada and the United States. I can't wait to drive from Burlington to see this beautiful bridge in person and drive across it.

Thej Empire State Building, steel-framed skyscraper rising 102 stories that was completed in New York City in 1931 in only 410 days..DURING the Depression. It never used to take us years to build things. Gordie Howe bridge: First proposed in the early 2000s, the project was met with prominent opposition by Ambassador Bridge owner Manuel "Matty" Moroun, who believed competition from a publicly owned bridge would reduce his revenue. A Canadian federal Crown corporation, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority, was established in 2012 to coordinate the bridge's construction and management. Environmental approvals and other permits were approved in the United States and Canada in the early 2010s. Lawsuits by Moroun alleged that the crossing agreement was illegal and the Ambassador Bridge had "exclusivity rights". These lawsuits were denied, along with various attempts to stop property expropriations, allowing the project to continue. The "Bridging North America" consortium was selected in July 2018 to design, build, operate and maintain the bridge, and construction began that month. The CA$3.8 billion cost of construction will be funded by the Canadian federal government, paid for by bridge tolls. Construction is expected to be completed in 2025.

It’s a legacy project that few people in the world actually get to work on. The emotions are going to be strong for many that take pride in their work as this accomplishment will easily stand for over a century. A lot of hard work and well deserved admiration for it.

@Randy201851 6 күн бұрын
The Ambassador Bridge is still necessary as it connects the two parts of the Detroit-Windsor metropolitan area. My guess is that it will be eventually purchased by Michigan & Ontario, with a Michigan & Ontario international crossing organization formed to operate & maintain all the crossings from the Blue Water Bridge to the Gordie Howe Bridge, similar to the NY NJ Port Authority that's responsible for all the NYC crossings to NJ

There is still a lot of work left to do before this bridge can open to traffic. Yet to be completed: - Access ramps to bridge - Access ramps to I-75 and ON-401 - Bridge deck surfacing and guardrailing - Connections to local cycleway and walkway networks - Operations and maintenance facilities - Ports of entry - Toll plaza - Utility installation for electricity, communication and fire suppression

Worst construction company ever! I'm on Sandwich st, I can't get home. No warning until today. A notice finally, says I won't be able to drive home next week, lol, it's already been 2. No plan where to park, turning off water, electricity in a heatwave with no warning. At least the shaking made my lights in the hallway work again. Some innocent person is gonna get hurt. Try coming out of Tim Hortons at that street, You won't be able to see anything cause they're so dumb they put a huge white sign right at the curb blocking line of sight. If only the City of Windsor was competent or we had journalists in Canada. Everyday I pass old and young people on the street and they start bitehn with me first about it, and I tell them call the city like I have. 70 year old woman today said to me "they hung up" lol. Yep they do the same to me.
