As construction progresses on the Gordie Howe International Bridge, new elements are regularly added during construction such as stay cables, beams and girders. But recently, crews removed pieces instead.
Women working on the Gordie Howe International Bridge play a valuable role in every aspect of the day-to-day operations of the project from engineering, human resources, government relations and communications to onsite construction. Their contributions and hard work are a crucial component to the success of this once-in-a-generation undertaking.
In November 2023, two Gordie Howe International Bridge workers rescued four members of the public from a capsized boat in the frigid waters of the Detroit River. Now, their life-saving efforts are being recognized with Fluor’s Silver Medallion of Safety.
