2023 Community Benefits Plan Additions

A key feature of the Gordie Howe International Bridge project is the inclusion of a Community Benefits Plan. Launched in June 2019, the Community Benefits Plan reflects community priorities and includes two components, the Workforce Development and Participation Strategy and the Neighbourhood Infrastructure Strategy.

How Stay Cables Are Installed

The Gordie Howe International Bridge requires the installation of 216 stay cables. The installation process for each pair can take two-to-five days and involves multiple steps as described below.

9 Things to Know About Stay Cables

The Gordie Howe International Bridge will have the longest main span of any cable-stayed bridge in North America. Critical to its design is the incorporation of 216 stay cables that serve two purposes -- they deliver the weight of the entire structure to the tower and, through tension, maintain the bridge deck’s stability and placement.

Construction Update: Winter 2022

At the Canadian Port of Entry (POE), underground utility installations are ongoing across multiple areas of the 53 hectares/130 acre site, with grading and paving underway in some areas.

US Port of Entry and Michigan Interchange Ramp Construction

The Windsor-Detroit gateway is one of the busiest commercial land border crossings on the Canada-US border with over one-quarter of total bilateral trade crossing the Detroit River. The Gordie Howe International Bridge project is designed for end-to-end system connectivity, providing a seamless route between the two countries’ interstate and interprovincial roadway systems.

2023 Community Organization Investment

The Gordie Howe International Bridge project is a once-in-a-generation undertaking. Not only will the project deliver much-needed transportation improvements for international travellers, it will also provide jobs and opportunities for growth to the Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan region and includes features that make this project truly distinctive. A key project element is the inclusion of a Community Benefits Plan.

Community Organization Investment Highlights

The Neighbourhood Infrastructure Strategy of the Community Benefits Plan includes a commitment to provide an annual investment allowance for community organizations located in or serving Sandwich/west Windsor or Delray/Southwest Detroit residents for a five-year duration from 2020 – 2024. Applications for funding ranging from $1,000 to $25,000* are accepted on an annual basis for proposed initiatives like events, programming and infrastructure improvements that will benefit the neighbourhoods closest to the project.  

Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority Seeks Feedback On Accessibility Of Services

Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority (WDBA), responsible for the delivery of the Gordie Howe International Bridge project between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan, is seeking community feedback on service offerings and facilities through an accessibility lens via an online survey. Feedback from the survey will be used to support further development and improvements to WDBA’s Accessibility Plan. 

Gordie Howe International Bridge Project Seeking Feedback On Malden Park Observation Area Accessibility Through Online Survey

The Gordie Howe International Bridge Community Benefits Plan includes funding to build a safe observation area at Malden Park where residents and visitors can observe the construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge. To minimize barriers for people with disabilities, the Gordie Howe International Bridge project team is seeking feedback on the design of the Malden Park Observation Area so it can be enjoyed by all through an online survey.
