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. 

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.

At the Canadian POE, the final sand surcharge deposits are taking shape at the north and east ends of the construction site. Throughout 2022, underground utility installations are ongoing across multiple areas of the 53 hectares/130 acre site. Grading and paving is expected to begin later this year. Nine of 12 POE facilities are currently under construction. Some are in early construction with excavation and foundation work underway while others are receiving roofing, building facade and interior fit-out (floors, ceilings and furnishings) installations. The project team expects to begin construction on the remaining three facilities within the coming months.
