Gordie Howe International Bridge opens, linking US and Canada after multi-year delays

The $4.7 billion Gordie Howe International Bridge has officially opened, completing a critical trade link between Detroit and Windsor. The project faced significant political friction and delays, including opposition from Donald Trump during his previous term due to broader trade disputes. The bridge is expected to streamline cross-border logistics, though long-term impacts on regional traffic patterns remain to be observed.
