There will be a new way to cross into the U.S. from Ontario in just a few months, and crews are now racing to meet a promised fall opening of the gargantuan Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor. In June, the project team announced that "After five years, the two massive tower cranes on either side of the Detroit River are retiring from the Gordie Howe International Bridge project." Removal of the U.S. tower crane continues into the summer, according to a statement shared earlier this month. The bridge had previously announced a late 2024 opening date before revising the bridge's debut to September 2025. All mention of that September date has been scrubbed from the Gordie Howe Bridge website and social media channels, now listing an unclear date of "fall 2025."
