How does the new Gordie Howe bridge deal compare to the original one?
The agreement keeps Michigan’s toll-sharing pact in place while directing half of Canada’s bridge revenue for 15 years to a U.S. development fund.
- The newly released Gordie Howe International Bridge agreement requires Canada to pay half of its net revenues from the first 15 years into a United States-run regional development fund.

- Opening to traffic next Monday, the project features a one-and-a-half-mile walking path with integrated cameras, smart LED lighting, and emergency call stations managed by the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority.
