Construction on the Gordie Howe International Bridge began in July 2018. The bridge connects Detroit to Canada and is the second bridge to do so, following the Ambassador Bridge which opened in 1929. The bridge was initially expected to open in 2025, but it is now set to open on July 27.

In 2023, construction crews were working on the road deck before starting bridge deck work on both the Canadian and US sides. Further details on the construction progress and the bridge's features are available from previous reports, which provide an inside look at the project's development.
