the Gordie Howe International Bridge designed by infrastructure firm AECOM,
the bridge will be completed later this month, approximately
36 feet (11 metres) of unbuilt bridge deck remain between the US and Canadian
side, with each side currently extending over the Detroit River,
crews will complete one more 49-foot (15 metre) segment on
the US side before working on the last section, known as the mid-span closure,
as part of the consortium Bridging North America, other companies
involved in the construction of the bridge include Fluor, Dragados Canada and Aecon, "The integration of the multi-use path will benefit
communities and travellers by supporting active transportation, healthy lifestyles
and enhance cross-border tourism while providing sustainable options for
reducing the carbon footprint of cross-border traffic," said the team, The
bridge is expected to open to the public in Fall 2025, with "plenty of
work" remaining before then including the installation of electrical, fire
safety and drainage systems, barriers, signage, lighting, deck paving, and
pavement markings, work on the bridge began in 2018, after a 2001 study conducted by US and Canadian parties anticipated
the need for an additional crossing as the result of increased traffic, let us just hope customs and immigration will be much better than the chaos we have in the UK!
