Gordie Howe Bridge Rates Released - About Half the Cost of Ambassador's Prices
Breakaway discount program offers commercial shippers $6.90 USD per axle, with rates less than half those at the Ambassador Bridge, officials announced.
- On Wednesday, March 11, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority announced toll prices and the Breakaway program for the Gordie Howe International Bridge, with rates about half those at the Ambassador Bridge.
- Canada funded the majority of the project as part of a decades-long Canada–Michigan effort, and tolls reflect affordability balanced with amenities, while the bridge became political after President Donald Trump threatened to block its opening following lobbying by Matthew Moroun, owner of the Ambassador Bridge.
- Breakaway rates include a $4.35 USD passenger toll with a 25% tag discount, standard passenger toll $5.75 USD, commercial trucks $8.75 USD per axle, and Breakaway $6.90 USD, saving typical five-axle semi-trucks $40.50 per crossing.
- Bridge officials say testing and commissioning teams are fine-tuning traffic, toll systems, and inspections ahead of opening this spring, with Breakaway tags enabling less than five seconds of toll processing.
- Lawmakers responded after the authority announced toll rates and registration for Breakaway Business Sessions at GordieHoweInternationalBridge.com, with Trump threatening to block the bridge's opening.
