Windsor, Ontario

The Gordie Howe International Bridge, a $4.7 billion project funded primarily by Canada, is set to open on July 27, 2026, connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. It replaces the aging Ambassador Bridge, which handles 40% of U.S.-Canada trucking shipments, and includes 60 inspection lanes to ease cross-border trade. Construction began in 2018 but faced delays, with the bridge now opening later than initially planned.

Canada celebrated the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario without Michigan due to a tariff dispute. The bridge's opening was marked on July 24, 2026.

President Trump will visit Michigan to speak at a General Motors facility about the economy and manufacturing. His visit coincides with the state’s primary elections, where he has endorsed Rep. John James for governor and Rep. Mike Rogers for Senate. The trip also aligns with the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge amid U.S.-Canada trade tensions.

Canada has completed the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a $6.4 billion six-lane bridge across the Detroit River, which will enhance trade and travel between the U.S. and Canada. The bridge's opening coincides with 50% tariffs on Canadian goods by President Donald Trump, leading to the absence of U.S. representatives at the ceremony, highlighting strained trade relations.

Canada has canceled a joint US-Canada ceremony for the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge after President Trump announced a 50% tariff on most Canadian goods. Trump accused Canada of unfairly discriminating against US automobiles, alcohol, and dairy products, escalating trade tensions between the two nations.

The Trump administration allegedly delayed the opening of a $4.7bn publicly owned bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, to protect the interests of Matthew Moroun, owner of the Ambassador Bridge and a Trump donor. The bridge's ribbon-cutting was initially scheduled for early June but was canceled, with a new opening date set for 27 July after a deal was reached between US and Canadian officials.

The U.S. and Canada have reached an agreement to open the delayed $4.7 billion Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit to Windsor, Ontario, which will now open on July 27 instead of the original June 27 date.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit to Windsor, Ontario, will open on July 27 after delays caused by a U.S.-Canada trade dispute. The bridge, funded by a Canadian government-owned corporation, faced ownership and revenue-sharing negotiations during the Trump administration's trade war with Canada.

The opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge between Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit has been delayed due to a last-minute request from the United States. The bridge is currently under construction.
