A University of Windsor engineering student is one step closer to graduation after completing her thesis on advanced tolling systems related to the Gordie Howe International Bridge project. The research was supported by the Annual Research Partnership, an initiative of the project’s Community Benefits Plan.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge project team is requesting public feedback on initiatives under consideration for Community Benefits funding in 2022. All initiatives under consideration support the Southwest Detroit/west Windsor communities, align with the priorities identified through Community Benefits Plan consultation in 2015-2018 and include exciting events, new programming and community infrastructure. The proposals stem from ideas that were not included in the original Community Benefits Plan or those that have been brought forward to the project team since the Plan’s release in 2019. To maintain confidentiality, the names of the potential delivery partners are not being released at this time. 

While work continues on the bridge towers and the buildings at the Canadian and US Ports of Entry, crews are also busy building up the back span, side span and approach span piers that will help connect the Gordie Howe International Bridge to what will be the largest ports of entry on the Canada-US border.

This summer, more than 17 post-secondary students from across Ontario will complete their co-op terms at Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority (WDBA). The students have taken on responsibilities across various departments including communications, engineering, construction, information technology, procurement, and human resources.
