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.

I am so beyond geeked for this to be completed. I live about 90 miles from Detroit, but I've made several trips there just to drive past the site and marvel at it. Can't wait!

Ignore the trolls and the negativity. This is an impressive international mega project and is staffed as such. My mom walked across the Ambassador Bridge when it opened. The technology in automobiles was a mere phantom of what it takes to build a vehicle today. With all due respect, asking a local autoworker to get on a deck and work 30m in the air in a collaborative environment would be like asking them to build an iPhone. The delays have been both positive and negative. Negative in the sense that the project had to wrestle with the current owner of the Ambassador Bridge, and positive in the way that community displacement and environmental considerations were taken into account. This is the way it works in the 21st century. So sit back, enjoy the ride and get ready for what will be the most beautiful bridge in North America.

Being a bicyclists, shared use paths are crash traps. Dodging pedestrians and E-bike idiots is wonderful.

It would be great if you could produce time-lapse videos of the assembly of a bridge section over the river and the assembly and installation of a bridge stay. Thank you!

Excellent update. I'm really happy to see such quality and care taken towards this project as well as educating everyone in the process.

Looks to be of similar design to some bridges built recently in Vancouver, with the suspension cables tapering inward over the road... I hope they came up with a solution for the ice bomb problem, there has been no end of problems in the winter time with chunks of ice falling onto the vehicles below in Vancouver... a city not known for its cold winters.

@vna1210 10 ай бұрын

Similar to the Quebec City bridge of similar design with same as well as other problems so they may want to re-think quite a few things in frigid during winter Detroit

@marshalltito 7 ай бұрын

Seems they were more concerned with hockey stick aesthetics than safety. That said Vancouver gets 57.5" annual precipitation, Detroit 31". Winter temps in Detroit are 10+°F colder than Vancouver so let's see how this plays out...

This will be a gorgeous spectacle soaring across the Detroit River, especially at night when it's lit. The Detroit Princess Riverboat Dinner Cruises should do some great business when it's done. I might even book another dinner cruise myself and have a sweet up close looksie.

To bad they didn't design it with a underdeck for 2 way traffic or like the Bloor st bridge in Toronto for subways also

Will the bridge deck be artificially heated for snow/ice removal?

@joetuktyyuktuk8635 10 ай бұрын

I'd be more worried about the cables being heated, bridges like these have a tendency to drop ice bombs from the cables onto the vehicles below, like in Vancouver.

Will it have Zamboni's clearing snow and ice in the winter?

@dorianfoster8107 10 ай бұрын

I can't wait for the pedestrian path to be open I live 2 and half miles from the bridge and ride 2 stroke bicycles It would be nice to ride around in canada, would I need a passport?

@dougall1687 10 ай бұрын

I think you'll need a passport, nexus card or enhanced drivers license. I used to live on Jefferson and regularly took the tunnel bus to Canada where I kept a bicycle on the Canadian side (as the tunnel bus can't handle front-mounted bikes due to the turn radius). Would have loved to have a bridge to bike over - closest I ever got was considering taking the truck ferry.

So how are you guys going to get the parts after the ferry shuts down next month?

Stupid governments can't make this happen. Vote for keeping things the same.

@povertyspec9651 10 ай бұрын

Can't wait to see the first head-on crash (especially during the winter when the deck is icy) since the opposing traffic directions will just have a double yellow line and no barrier.

It looks to me that the steel reinforced bar in the pre-cast panels are NOT the best, most durable type available for construction. The state of the art with steel re-bar is to use coated steel with epoxy or other coatings to prevent corrosion of re-bar......that was a design mistake that should have been addressed with the physical performance specifications for the pre-cast panels for the project.

Back in 1920's Ambassador bridge was built in 2 years basically with Hand Tools, hand, labor, horses & carts, inefficient Equipment by todays standards, yet this bridge has taken an inordinate amount of time to eruct (nearly 2 decades) Since it's 2002 Conception so regardless of this videos claims there's definitely something amiss with this scenario . Moreover this guy doesn't appear to be of American or Canadian resident (or native to either USA or Canada and speaks about all kinds of foreign Laborers & people involved save for Detroit & Windsor formerly employed now unemployed residents, many of whom are ex but now unemployed Auto workers desperately in need of work. That didn't happen in 1920's Ambassador build where they used Local Detroit & Windsor resident labor. So actually not as impressive as it could be as an beneficial infrastructure project or help very much with either Detroit's or Windsor's massive unemployment problems

Well said. Welcome to globalism.

@sluggo7 10 ай бұрын

This bridge (and it's supporting infrastructure) is an order of magnitude more complex and capable a structure than the Ambassador Bridge. Maybe don't critique stuff you're completely ignorant of. As for globalism, it started over 500 years ago, with the first trans-oceanic commerce. It ain't going to stop until it's complete and total. Get used to it. It's what (fearless and progressive) humans do.

So you're offended because a guy with an accent that you don't approve of has a better job than you. Cry more. And then STFU.

MOREOVER IT IS A VERY NICE BRIDGE BUT NO MARVEL SAME DESIGN MADE DECADES AGO SPANNING sT lAURENT RIVER IN Quebec CITY AND SPANNING MUCH DEEPER WATERS. so no new uniquely special feat or so much an unseen before marvel.@@sluggo7

The first 20 years was held up in court by an overly aggressive Oligarch, Matty Maroun and his son was still filing appeals as late as 2022. So you can toss those years out of your poorly constructed formula. Construction didn't start in earnest until 2019. Just like a typical conservative to use whatever "alternative truths" it takes to amass enough misinformation to create a narrative.
