DETROIT (AP) — A second bridge connecting Detroit and Canada over the Detroit River won't open for travel until fall 2025, months later than anticipated, officials said Thursday.
Officials cited construction disruptions in the U.S. and Canada related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Gordie Howe International Bridge, named for a Canadian who played hockey for the NHL's Detroit Red Wings, began in 2018 and was last scheduled to be completed in 2024.
The target now is September 2025, though the bridge deck should be finished this year.
