In its recent annual report, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority said the Gordie Howe Bridge is on track to begin operations this fall.
In the report, the bridge authority examines the project's progress, this includes the Interstate 75 integration of the project and the bridge construction itself.
The project has reached its final phase, with the Gordie Howe Bridge's towers finished. The bridge deck is 85% complete, and the stay cables installed are at 200 of the 216 total cables.
Progress on the inspection area stands at 93% complete, with work on the toll booths and lanes needing the most work to complete, with their status standing at 42%
The Pedestrian Processing Facility is among the projects close to completion, standing at 97% complete. However, work still needs to be done on the inspection area, with that part of the project listed at 58% complete.
Finally, work on the Michigan Interchange is progressing, with the structural steel installation of the four bridges from I-75 to the American Port of Entry 100% complete. Local road improvements, including the widening of I-75 and the installation of a siphon, are 85% complete.
According to the Annual Report, the construction completion date is set for some time in September 2025.
