Opening of Gordie Howe International Bridge delayed amid U.S.-Canada disputes.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, was scheduled to open in June 2026 but was delayed on June 11. The Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority stated both countries agreed to delay the opening to resolve outstanding issues. President Trump had previously threatened to block the bridge in February, demanding the U.S. receive half ownership.
