"New Setback: Gordie Howe International Bridge Completion Pushed to 2025, Costs Soar"

The Gordie Howe International Bridge, a major infrastructure project connecting Detroit and Windsor, has a new completion date set for September 2025, with vehicle crossings expected in fall 2025. The $4.9 billion project faced delays and cost increases due to the COVID-19 pandemic but is now back on track, with 2023 being the busiest construction year. The project includes community benefits and enhancements such as cycling lanes, with additional funds allocated to support affected communities. Road construction related to the bridge on I-75 is expected to finish in fall 2024, and the bridge deck is set to connect over the Detroit River this year.
