Bridge Opens as Trade Tensions Rise | Johannesburg News
Description
The Gordie Howe International Bridge, a $6.4 billion trade lifeline connecting Windsor and Detroit, opens Monday — but tensions simmer as Canada cancels a joint celebration over Trump’s new 50% Canadian goods tariffs. Named after hockey legend Gordie Howe, the six-lane, 2km bridge, delayed by pandemic chaos, will boost cross-border traffic and challenge the Ambassador Bridge’s century-old dominance. Canada pays full cost, but will share tolls with the U.S. for 15 years — Michigan gets a slice later. Pedestrians and cyclists can cross free. Windsor’s mayor laments strained trade ties, as 70% of Canadian exports head to the U.S.
