How does the new Gordie Howe bridge deal compare to the original one?
The agreement keeps Michigan’s toll-sharing pact in place while directing half of Canada’s bridge revenue for 15 years to a U.S. development fund.
- The newly released Gordie Howe International Bridge agreement requires Canada to pay half of its net revenues from the first 15 years into a United States-run regional development fund.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney acknowledged he could have been clearer, clarifying that the original agreement with Michigan remains in place and tolls will split only after Canada repays construction debt.
- Conservatives accused Carney of "caving to the United States" to expedite the bridge opening, alleging he misinformed Canadians about the toll-splitting arrangement during recent weeks.
- Canada will host its own ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow, having withdrawn from a joint event after the White House imposed new tariffs on the country several days ago.
- Opening to traffic next Monday, the project features a multi-layered security framework for its walking path, including integrated cameras, smart LED lighting, and emergency call stations managed by the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority.
