The six-lane crossing, named for hockey legend Gordie Howe, marks a milestone after decades of delays and signals renewed cooperation as Canada celebrates the milestone with events and live streams on both sides of the border.

Gordie Howe Bridge Opens with Canadian Ceremony

The Gordie Howe International Bridge is set to open with a Friday ribbon-cutting and traffic access beginning Monday, July 27, with pedestrian and bike crossings available on August 5, according to Windsor officials and U.S. partners. The opening follows delays tied to Trump-era concessions, and Canadian-U.S. discussions on toll revenue sharing and debt repayment remain ongoing, with officials confirming the milestone and cross-border collaboration.
