Overview
- Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority says the crossing could open as soon as early 2026, with a firm date contingent on quality reviews.
- Construction is largely complete, shifting the project into commissioning of electrical, fire suppression, drainage, lighting and toll systems.
- Teams are finalizing ports of entry interiors and the I‑75 and Highway 401 connections while training operators and validating dynamic lane signs and nearly 5,000 LED lights.
- An S&P Global Ratings report earlier flagged missed CBSA and CBP handoff dates at the ports of entry that could extend the schedule by roughly six months.
- The $6.4 billion span will be the third public Detroit–Windsor crossing, featuring an 853‑meter cable‑stayed main span and a multi‑use path for cyclists.
