- The Gordie Howe International Bridge linking Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit will have a ribbon-cutting Friday and is set to open to traffic later this month; it’s named for hockey legend Gordie Howe.
- Canada fully financed the project (to be repaid from tolls); the bridge is jointly owned by Canada and the state of Michigan and is meant to ease congestion and boost cross‑border trade.
- The project drew controversy — President Trump threatened to block or demand U.S. ownership earlier this year, and owners of the rival Ambassador Bridge sued to try to stop the new span.
