The Gordie Howe International Bridge, a significant infrastructure project connecting the U.S. and Canada, has had its completion date pushed back to September 2025, nearly a year later than originally planned, due to complications from the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the delay, significant progress has been made, including advancements in bridge and road deck construction, stay cable installation, and port of entry facilities. The project's budget has been increased to $6.4 billion CDN to reflect the new timeline, and an additional $3 million CDN has been allocated to benefit the communities in Detroit and Windsor through the Community Benefits Plan.

"Setback for Gordie Howe Bridge as Opening Pushed to Fall 2025, Costs Climb by $700M"

The Gordie Howe International Bridge, a project exceeding $4 billion, has had its opening delayed by nearly a year, with completion now expected in September 2025. The Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority cited "unprecedented disruptions" from the COVID-19 pandemic as the cause, with different restrictions in the U.S. and Canada affecting progress. Despite the delay, significant milestones were achieved in 2022 and 2023, and the bridge is set to become North America's longest cable-stayed bridge upon completion. The authority has also extended its Community Benefits plan by a year to align with the new timeline.
