Gordie Howe International Bridge - ArcelorMittal Produits longs Canada

The Gordie Howe International Bridge is an international border crossing linking Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario that is currently under construction with an expected completion date in 2024. It is listed as the largest infrastructure project in Canada by the Canadian government with a projected final cost of $5.7 billion dollars.

This cable-stayed bridge will provide uninterrupted freeway traffic flow between Canada and the United States at one of the busiest border crossings in North America. The bridge is named after Canadian ice hockey player Gordie Howe who spent 25 years of his career with the Detroit Red Wings.

Built by the Bridging North America consortium consisting of AECOM, Dragados Canada, Fluor Corporation and Aecon, the project began in July of 2018, creating 2,500 jobs over a 74-month period. When completed, the project will contain 4,960 metric tons of rebar per pillar in addition to thousands of metric tons of rebar used in the bridge roadways. A portion of the rebar is manufactured and supplied by ArcelorMittal Long Products.

Designed by AECOM’s Erik Behrens, the Gordie Howe Bridge will have two “A” shaped towers built on the banks of the Detroit River and will allow for six lanes of automotive traffic along with a bicycle and a walking path. The frames will resemble the shape of a hockey stick as it is swung for a slap shot.

The bridge will be approximately 2.5km long, and it will have the longest main span of any cable-stayed bridge in North America at 853m. Traffic across the bridge is expected to grow to 26,500 within the first year of opening and will generate substantial toll revenue for the Government of Canada for decades to come.
