(Detroit, MI) – The wait for a second bridge between Detroit and Canada is almost over. The Gordie Howe International Bridge is scheduled to open on Monday after eight years of construction and over 25 years of planning. Trucking companies are looking forward to it, as McLaren Transport vice president Mohamed Saaidi says the bridge will cut the costs they are currently paying to use the privately-owned and 96-year-old Ambassador Bridge.
The Gordie Howe International Bridge will have more lanes, more scanner technology, and connects directly to Interstate 75 in Detroit and Highway 401 in Windsor. Tolls for the bridge will be less than half of what the Ambassador Bridge charges for commercial trucks and over a dollar cheaper for passenger vehicles.
