The Gordie Howe International Bridge is now open to traffic after years of construction and delays. Members of the Howe family were among the first to cross, along with Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and other dignitaries.

Gordie Howe's grandson, also named Gordie, had the honor of driving the first car across the bridge, accompanied by his wife Margaret. They crossed in a red Dodge Charger. Further details about the bridge's opening and the historic first crossing are available from local news sources, including WDIV ClickOnDetroit.
