Gordie Howe Bridge Opens Amid Trade Tensions | Roanoke News
Description
A major new bridge connecting Canada and the U.S. over the Detroit River is finally opening this Monday — the Gordie Howe International Bridge, named after hockey legend Gordie Howe. Costing Canada $6.4 billion and taking years to build, it’s set to revolutionize cross-border trade with faster, cheaper trucking routes. While Canada celebrated with a ribbon-cutting last week, U.S. officials were notably left out — just days after Trump announced new Canadian tariffs. The sleek, mile-and-a-half-long span will soon allow free pedestrian and bike access too, and though construction faced delays from the pandemic, it’s now poised to ease congestion that’s long plagued the region — all while political tensions simmer in the background.
