The original Gordie Howe Bridge Construction playlist:
• Gordie Howe Internatio...
Iron Workers Local 25 celebrated after the last steel crossbeam was placed. The final connection will be pieced together with custom steel, made off site.
Gordie Howe International Bridge is a six lane bridge with a width that allows for a future expansion to eight lanes, and will still include the pedestrian trail. It's going be the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America and will also set a world record for the longest composite steel and concrete cable-stayed bridge deck in the world.
The Gordie Howe International Bridge will connect Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, in Canada. The bridge is named after Gordie Howe, who played for the Detroit Red Wings. The bridge will facilitate trade and traffic between the US and Canada and provide another crossing point between Detroit and Windsor.
The bridge is designed as a cable-stayed bridge, with cables anchored to pylons that support the bridge deck. This design allows for longer spans with a nice appearance.
Six Lanes: The bridge will have three lanes in each direction to for vehicular traffic between Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Access: The design includes pedestrian and bicycle access, providing alternative ways of transportation and recreational use of the bridge.
Customs and Inspection Facilities: The bridge will feature customs and inspection facilities on both the Canadian and U.S. sides to facilitate the fast flow of international trade and travel.

60 miles north is another border crossing with 2 bridges & an under river tunnel. That crossing is favored by truckers for ease of crossing & road connections because of current conditions in Detroit area. This new crossing, point of entrance & vastly upgraded roads & their connections, in Detroit, should relieve some of the aggravation of using Detroit as a POE. Remember too, as there is little " rush hour traffic"( local) in Detroit, as cross nation employment is not premitted, on a large scale.

According to the Gordie Howe International Bridge website, the mid-span closure section is made up of 2 edge girders, 2 floor beams, 9 redundancy girders, 12 precast concrete & stainless steel rebar panels, and 12 soffit panels. Unlike the other segments, the mid-span closure does not require stay cables. The installation process of the mid-span closure will take approximately four-to-six weeks and multiple steps.

Best thing would be to do a little research on the subject. There is a 100yo bridge, RR under river tunnel & a car tunnel at Detroit for border crossings. The bridge is 4 lanes but, can't handle the shipping anymore. The infrastructure surrounding the bridge & tunnels was not keeping up to demand & volume of traffic on both sides of the border. So, the new bridge, complete road systems & customs area were built to alleviate the issues. 60 miles north are 2 large bridges & an under river RR tunnel also. Detroit connects to I-75 & I-94 freeways. The one further north connects to I-94 & I-69 freeways. I-69 is ( on paper) a direct route from Canada to Mexico.

The result is that height above sea level differs by 270 millimetres (0.89 ft) between the two references.

Where's the Canadian flag? You know, since it's an international bridge and Canada is paying for the whole thing.

At 09:34 of the video . . . . upper left.

Still on the American side. That's why no Canadian flag.

If that's the last crossbeam, why is there still a huge gap between the two sides? If there's an obvious answer, I'm obviously missing it.

If it's a international bridge why wasn't there a Canadian flag along with the USA flags. That's BS last beam international bridge topping of ceremony. I think it's disrespectful. IMHO😊

It's up to the (Canadian) owners of the bridge to put as many Canadian flags as they feel is necessary on the Canadian side of their bridge. I notice Americans often put flags on nearly everything while Canadians tend to only do that much flag waving during certain holiday celebrations and at the Olympics and other international sports tournaments. Each to their own style. The two main towers have the giant flag of the appropriate country painted near the top IIRC.

Canadian flags are on the Canadian side. This was the last beam on AMERICAN side. Two more to go on CANDIAN side.

Because it's an American Union and American workers. I'm sure when the two sides connect, both flags will be up.

Nice video but the music is Wonky. Music sounds like a cross between AI junk and the old New Age music from the 80s.

Was nice following progress with your videos but dmca striking youtubers because they used 21 seconds of footage (with proper credits) in their videos and transformed it leaves a bad taste in my mouth
@michaelanthonyvideos 2 ай бұрын
They didn't ask me for my permission and want to enrich themselves off of footage that they are too lazy to take themselves. All they do is have an AI program put a video together and make money off of it without doing any of the work. That's in bad taste. They removed my watermark without my permission. I contact these fly by nighters before I submit a copyright request and ask them to take it down but they are too unethical to do so. Actually it may be people from China who don't even speak English or have any respect for our laws and values. Either way, I'm not their slave that goes and does all the work so that they can steal it. Also, I sell exclusive rights to my videos on stock video sites so it creates confusion for the company who purchased the exclusive rights footage.

What a juvenile editing of this professional work! Pitiful that you provide intrusive horrible music instead of the sounds of construction! Does an adult review these video prior to release? This is a rather awful format!
