Gordie Howe International Bridge to open by late July after U.S.-Canada dispute resolved.
The Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor is expected to open to commercial traffic by the end of July 2026 after U.S. and Canadian officials reached an agreement resolving an undisclosed dispute. A ribbon-cutting ceremony originally scheduled for June 12 was postponed following demands from President Trump for Canada to hand over half ownership of the bridge.
