Delay In Opening Gordie Howe International Bridge Would Cost Millions Every Week

By Mary Ellen Murphy Feb 16, 2026 | 8:18 AM

(Detroit, MI) – The possible delay in opening the Gordie Howe International Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario would cost between six and seven-million-dollars every week. The figure is from a new report from the Anderson Economic Group and economist Patrick Anderson says those are unavoidable costs. President Donald Trump is threatening to prevent the bridge from opening without more concessions from Canada, despite the Canadian government fully paying for the construction of the bridge.

Ottawa will be reimbursed by tolls collected in Detroit and the bridge will be 50-percent owned by Michigan and Canada.
