Gordie Howe Bridge Opens Today | Detroit News

The Gordie Howe International Bridge just opened today at noon, linking Detroit and Windsor with a sleek six-lane span across the Detroit River — a game-changer for cross-border travel. After years in the making, this $4.5 billion marvel offers a new, faster route with a $5.75 toll (passport or enhanced ID required) and a free pedestrian/cyclist path launching August 5. More than infrastructure, it’s a symbol of U.S.-Canada unity, designed to boost trade and ease congestion on existing crossings. Residents are buzzing — ready to explore, commute, or just soak in the view — while officials urge drivers to stay safe and avoid photo stops.
