Overview

• Bridge officials say construction is about 98% complete and expect to finish work by the end of the year on the CA$6.4 billion, Canadian‑financed project.
• Testing and commissioning are underway, including installation of electrical and drainage systems and weeks of test lighting, with no formal opening date announced.
• The Windsor‑Detroit Bridge Authority is coordinating with U.S. border agencies to hand over the American port facilities in advance of operations.
• The span will have six traffic lanes over 1.5 miles and 60 primary inspection lanes across both ports; all tolling will occur on the Canadian side with prices to be announced, and a pedestrian and bike path will be toll‑free.
• Highway‑to‑highway connectivity linking I‑75 and I‑96 in Michigan to Ontario’s Highway 3 is intended to pull trucks off local streets, after a Detroit study counted over 1,000 daily on a key Livernois stretch.
