The Gordie Howe International Bridge, connecting Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan, will open this week, Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed Tuesday.
The bridge has been years in the making and represents a significant infrastructure win for cross-border trade and travel between Canada and the United States. Carney called it a "symbol" of cooperation between the two countries.
For Alberta traders and businesses working across the continent, the new bridge means another major border crossing option. The opening comes after extended negotiations and construction, and signals renewed momentum on continental trade infrastructure.
