Gordie Howe International Bridge, International bridge between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario.
The cable-stayed structure spans 2.5 kilometers across the Detroit River with six lanes for vehicles and a dedicated path for pedestrians and cyclists.
Initial proposals emerged in early 2000s, facing opposition from Ambassador Bridge owner Manuel Moroun before construction commenced in June 2018.
The bridge honors Canadian hockey player Gordie Howe, who played 25 years with Detroit Red Wings, connecting both nations through sports and infrastructure.
This crossing will link Interstate 75 in Michigan with Highway 401 in Ontario, enabling direct freeway access for approximately 2.6 million trucks annually.
The project integrates artistic elements by Douglas Coupland and incorporates diverse plant species across the Michigan Interchange Road Bridges.
