The Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Ontario to Michigan will open July 27, the federal government has confirmed.
​​​​​
Canada and Michigan agreed on Friday to open the bridge with the support of the United States government, according to a news release issued just after 7 p.m. by the Department of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities.
​Commercial trade between the two cities primarily has been across the nearly century-old and privately-owned Ambassador Bridge, which is closer to downtown Detroit than the Gordie Howe Bridge.
