Construction for the 2.5-kilometre-long bridge began in 2018 and was slated to wrap up in Nov. 2024 with an anticipated Dec. 2024 opening. This target was later adjusted to Sept. 2025 construction completion with a vague Fall 2025 opening planned. According to the update shared online, "Paving and line painting on the bridge deck is now complete. Kathryn Segal of the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority explains that "Work is progressing well towards our anticipated construction completion in fall 2025. We currently have less than two percent of construction work remaining focused primarily on final finishes that will be followed by testing, system integration and commissioning."
