Gordie Howe Bridge Nears Completion: Updates on Construction
Imagine a new bridge connecting the US and Canada!
It's called the Gordie Howe Bridge, and it's almost done.
Workers are putting in the final touches like lights and wires.
It will have six lanes for cars and trucks.
This bridge will make it easier to move things between the two countries.
It will also provide direct access to highways in both Michigan and Ontario, so vehicles won't have to go through city streets.
Construction has been going on since 2018 and is costing a lot of money, and once it opens, all the payment of tolls will be made on the Canadian side.
The Gordie Howe International Bridge project is nearing completion.
Final steps include installing electrical and drainage systems.
The bridge will offer six lanes and highway-to-highway connectivity.
Tolling will be done on the Canadian side.
Construction began in 2018 and will be the third crossing between Detroit and Windsor.
