New Gordie Howe Bridge Opening This Fall, Connecting Detroit to Canada

New footage shows major progress on the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which is nearly complete and expected to open in fall 2025.

The six-lane, cable-stayed bridge stretches across the Detroit River and will connect I-75 in Detroit directly to Highway 401 in Windsor. It will be the first direct freeway-to-freeway border crossing in the area.

The $6 billion (Canadian) bridge project is funded by the Canadian government.

The Gordie Howe Bridge is designed with advanced security systems and a smoother traffic setup. Officials say the new span will help boost trade, ease border delays, and help with economic growth on both sides of the border.

Crews also installed a new sign this on I-75 pointing drivers to the future crossing.
