Gordie Howe Bridge to Open in 2 Weeks After Trump Wins Toll Deal
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 13
Summary
Two weeks before its long-delayed debut, the Gordie Howe International Bridge is set to open after Canada and the US reached a deal addressing Donald Trump’s complaints over control and toll revenue.
Mark Carney downplayed Trump’s characterization of the agreement, signaling Ottawa does not view the arrangement as a major concession even as it clears the way for the crossing’s launch.
The bridge links Windsor and Detroit and has been a closely watched cross-border infrastructure project, with the toll dispute emerging just before opening.
The resolution removes a late political obstacle to starting operations at one of the most significant new Canada-US trade links.
