The Gordie Howe International Bridge, a $6.4 billion Canadian-funded marvel spanning the Detroit River, officially opened Monday—marking a historic moment for trade, transit, and hockey legend Gordie Howe. Six lanes wide and designed to handle massive commercial traffic, it’s a game-changer for auto supply chains and border commerce. Celebrations included Howe’s descendants, Senator Gary Peters on a motorcycle, and Governor Gretchen Whitmer in a convertible—though tensions lingered after U.S. reps were snubbed at Canada’s ceremony over tariff disputes. At 1.5 miles long and 151 feet high, the bridge’s hockey-stick blade design pays tribute to Howe, and starting August 5, cyclists and pedestrians can enjoy free access.
