A brand-new $6.4 billion bridge linking Windsor, Canada, and Detroit, U.S., is set to open Monday — but the celebration’s been derailed by trade tensions. President Trump’s 50% tariffs on Canadian goods have chilled plans for a joint U.S.-Canada opening ceremony. Canadian officials, including Windsor’s mayor, voiced disappointment over the strained relationship, while the new Gordie Howe International Bridge — a 1.5-mile, six-lane marvel built since 2018 and delayed by the pandemic — promises to reshape cross-border trade and soon welcome pedestrians and cyclists. Canada paid for it all, with a 15-year revenue-sharing deal for Michigan — though the U.S. won’t see a dime until Canada recoups its investment, potentially taking decades.
