The Bridge That Brought Us Together | Detroit News
Description
The Gordie Howe International Bridge opens Monday, marking a historic moment for Detroit and Windsor—and for the ironworkers who built it. Casey Whitson, a second-generation ironworker who spent four years on the project, calls it a dream realized, a shared triumph across borders. The viral photo of him and a Canadian colleague connecting the final piece symbolizes unity and hard-earned pride. For Whitson, this bridge is legacy—honoring his father’s legacy and paving the way for the next generation of tradespeople shaping Detroit’s future. As cars roll across, he’ll be there, watching his labor come alive.
