(Detroit, MI) — The four-point-six-billion-dollar Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting southwest Detroit to Windsor, Ontario is 98-percent complete and will open soon. Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority chief relations officer Heather Grondin says the project started in 2000 to build another span along with the privately-owned Ambassador Bridge that was built in 1927.
She adds the two-percent of work left is still a lot, but says all partners are happy to be closer to opening it up. The bridge was financed by the Canadian government and the U.S. will pay its share through tolls collected.
