Gordie Howe Bridge TOLLS Exposed

[@ATF1985]

Blue water has 2 bridges and the older one is only 10 years younger then ambassador. Bluewater is like 28 dollars for normal 53fter and ambassador is 67.50 for 53fter . We started hauling hazmat over ambassador Tuesday ❤. So far so good , ambassador bridge escort teams have been doing great and working with us ❤ I’m sure when the new bridge is open , ambassador will lower cost , with all the trucks we need 3 bridges ❤

[@bobjonesrealtor7756]

Hi AFT. I'm glad they have a solution to hazard material transport without having to take another three or four hour detour to the BlueWater Bridge. The truck ferry should have never been closed before the Gordie Howe Bridge was in operation. I am not a trucker, so don't claim to know the risk of having hazardous materials transported over a bridge that is not qualified for such transport. Not that I expect a mishap, however if it did happen, how would they contain it to the bridge? Just curious. Also, do you believe they should continue the practice after the Gordie Howe is open? I really appreciate having the professionals sharing their experience with our viewers. Thanks for your insight!! 👍

[@ATF1985]

@ agreed the truck ferry should be open , both us and Canada government didn’t want to fund it . , and the ambassador bridge now has a catch basin to collect any that might leak , and all bridge workers r trained in hazmat clean up and other hazmat training. So far with the escorts it’s working great . R little company alone has already taken 30 loads over since Tuesday . Don’t forget the diesels fuel in semi truck fuel tanks r more dangerous this the hazmat load . Can’t wait to the new bridge is open

12 Years later, they roll out the sod. This project lives up to the Old Union trades motto: "Don't Kill the Job!" This reminds me of 4 Rail Bridges we built crossing a highway years ago, we seen a laborer carrying like 8 - 12 foot long 2x4's, and we stopped him and told him not to Kill the Job, and that he should carry no more than 3 2x4's. For the remainder of that summer, that guy NEVER was seen carrying more than 1 single 2x4 at a time. And we would laugh every time we seen him. That is the Union way.

[@bobjonesrealtor7756]

Hi Brent. I hear you. It's a two way street to be fair. Once in a union time studies watch to make sure the workers are carrying their load of work, and if there is room, more work is added. It's counterproductive even though it is there to keep the workers busy. Unlike working for a small jobber where everybody needs to pull for the company to survive. Good comment. Thanks!😎👍

I live in Fort Frances, and the toll for the bridge between Fort Frances and International Falls is 11 Canadian dollars for cars, trucks and motorcycles!

[@bobjonesrealtor7756]

Hi Louis. That is a lot. Fort Frances is a small community, maybe that's the reasoning for the high tolls? Whadda you think? Thanks for sharing that info! :)

[@BasementEngineer]

To charge the same fee for trucks, cars, and motorcycles is highway robbery! Fees should be based on maintenance and repair costs to the bridge incurred by the vehicle size and weight. If the load limit for the bridge is kept below the fatigue limit of the steel structure, with proper care and maintenance it will have an almost indefinite life span. Consequently it can be determined what load and wheel arrangement causes how much in maintenance costs. It appears that the powers-that-be of the G-H bridge took this into consideration to some extend; although $8 for trucks seems rather low in my opinion. Mind you, these are not the final prices as stated by the author.

[@louisglen1653]

185 dollars canadian for a truck that weighs 54000lbs round trip..at the ambassador bridge..no way it will be 8 dollars for a truck..maybe 8 bucks per axle but no way a straight 8 dollars

[@louisglen1653]

@@TruckerAl_YQG I guess I didn't explain myself well enough. When I said truck I meant a pickup or SUV. Commercial vehicles are 16 Canadian dollars plus 4 dollars for each additional axle. So a five ton truck is 16 bucks, a typical semi would be with five axles will be 28 dollars. A logging truck will be 36 to 40 dollars. Newer logging trailers use one less axle. An oversized load starts at 430 dollars then the trucker has to get a quote for every additional axle.

Tolls are rumored to be $8 per truck? Not likely. The current toll at the Ambassador Bridge is $13.50 USD PER AXLE ($67.50 USD) for a standard 18-wheel truck to cross the bridge. I've certainly seen the government make fiscal blunders before but does anyone actually believe that the government is going to provide a discount of nearly $60 per truck to commercial vehicles? Doing so would certainly shift virtually ALL truck traffic from the Ambassador Bridge to the Howe but the cost of the Howe would shift to the Canadian taxpayer from the users of the bridge.

[@bobjonesrealtor7756]

Hi pcs. I believe your right. Remember these tolls are subject to change Depends what they were classifying as a truck maybe. I know it's expensive for transports to cross the Ambassador. Do you think the trucks with hazardous materials will be charged even more, now they are getting permission to cross the Ambadssador? Thanks for sharing. Great post!

[@pcs5852]

@@bobjonesrealtor7756: In that the Ambassador Bridge charges an additional $100 USD for oversize loads (because an escort is required), it stands to reason that since hazmat loads will also require an escort, they'll also be charged the additional fee. There is no good reason to require an escort for these types of hazmat loads (flammables and corrosives) but bureaucrats are rarely burdened by common sense.

[@bobjonesrealtor7756]

Hi Michael. I wouldn't count on it. It seems to change over the updates, and they leave it open to change. The Ambassador to go and come back is around 26.00 Canadain for a car. Much more for a transport. I'll keep loking and posting what I find until they open!🌉👍

Hi Martin. Actually I'm not sure if that is in Canadian? As for the other crossings, yeah, there is a big boy on the block now.:)

If you are not going to tell us the tolls, we will have to guess. $29 USD one-way for a typical 2-axel family vehicle; $99 USD one-way for commercial semi-tractor with trailer.

[@bobjonesrealtor7756]

Hi Walt. I wish I could share the tolls as they are going to be, however I only share what I can find in my research. Your guess may be right. If we compare with the Ambassador Bridge it's approx $26 cnd both ways and Transports are charged by the axel, so often over $99 cnd one way. Good gusses I would think!:) Thanks for sharing. 👍

Don't worry, in a couple of years, Canada as you know it today, will no longer exist. The Alaska 2 Alberta Railway will only be the beginning as Alberta Saskatchewan, NW and Yukon Territories will be peacefully annexed by the USA. The Ontario "Peninsula" could be in the same boat

[@Pyrolonn]

Not really a one sided deal. Why not? While it is nice for Michigan and the U.S. to have the bridge, for Canada it is essential. The biggest problem is the owner of the Ambassador bridge did *everything* to ban a new crossing and then delayed it as much as possible. There was even a ballot proposal in Michigan to stop the bridge. So to get Michigan to pay half of it up front wasn't going to happen.

[@bobjonesrealtor7756]

The Moroun family certainly delay the process by years. Whichever way they pay for it, it is a great advantage for everybody. I would think it is just as important for States as it is for Canada. Just my opinion. :)

[@canadiantrucker9574]

As a truck driver I don't see how much it cost because I have the toll pass in the truck. From what the toll schedule online says, my company pays $78 cdn to cross heavy, and about $54 to cross empty. Thats absolutely ridiculous, but I know why they are charging an exorbitant rate - they know the commercial trucks and most cars will be crossing the GH Bridge next fall. They know they may as well shut down and demolish the old bridge.

[@pcs5852]

The Ambassador Bridge is paid for so the bridge company can adjust their price to undercut the Howe bridge, should they choose to do so. More importantly, as much of the truck traffic will shift to the Howe, so will the delays; it's not about how many lanes on the bridge but, rather, how quickly Customs clears the trucks. If Canada assigns more Customs agents to the Howe, the burden on the Canadian taxpayer increases. Odds are, the delays caused by a handful of traffic lights between the Ambassador Bridge and the 401 will be offset by the waiting time on the Howe. Of course, I could be wrong.

[@bobjonesrealtor7756]

Hi Canadiantrucker. I know the Ambassador is really expensive for the transports. I think the Ambassador will still profit with cars and trucks going to the innercities. It won't be torn down any time soon. Their tolls could present an issue if the Gordie Howe enters the market lower that they are charging. They may have to lower it considerably.

[@bobjonesrealtor7756]

Hi pcs. It will be interesting to see just how things play out obnce the Gordie Howe is open. They are hiring 250 employees on each side of the bridge to operate the facility. Everything is state of art, so once they are in the swing of it I imagine the processing will be fairly efficient, more so than the Ambassador. Of course, I could be wrong, too! :) Great reply. Thanks for sharing.

[@pcs5852]

@@bobjonesrealtor7756: It's all speculation at this point but I spent a number of years driving a truck myself and the slowdowns at Customs on both sides of the river didn't have much to do with technology. The cargo manifests have been submitted electronically for about ten years and all the loads are pre-cleared prior to the truck arriving at Customs. Most cross-border drivers have a FAST card and it only takes a few seconds to get approval for entry. The delays seem to be (this is speculation) caused by the Customs agents just slowing down the process, perhaps to meet an average time standard - just a guess. Nonetheless, I've crossed the border thousands of times (literally) and it's a near miracle to get through Customs in much less than four minutes.

I would set a much lower rate for anyone who uses the bridge each day . For work or delivery, and a higher rate for thru traffic. This would encourege regional developement. Even at a low rate, over time the daily user will provide a lot of revenue.

For daily, or similar, users I suspect that a monthly pass at reduced cost may be made available. Perhaps even with automatic controls such that no stop is necessary.

@@bobjonesrealtor7756 They built a bridge over a local river 2 miles from me in the late 80,s They used tolls to pay for some of the construction costs. For 15 years I did not use it until the cost of gas for the alternate route got above the toll. It was a 50 cent toll. I would have made it a free bridge for the first six months to train drivers to use it. I would have put time of day pricing on it. The value of going to work is much higher than shopping at 10 am or going home at midnight. And I would have made it free at random times and days. People love a chance at free.

Who's Gordie Howe?

[@bobjonesrealtor7756]

Hi Universe. Gordie Howe was a great Canadian hockey player that played with the Detroit Red Wings. He was loved by everyone. He earned the name "Mr. Hockey" Google him and you might get a better idea. Thanks for the question.🏒👍

Given that Canada is largely paying for this it's probably going to cost at least $15 CA for a car.

Hi Dave. Kinda hard to say what they are going to do. Although that sounds exstream considering the tolls on the Ambassador or the Tunnel. I'll keep my ears open. :) Thanks for the comment! . . . . . Dave maybe your not far off. The Ambassador has raised their tolls to $11 usd to go from Canada to the US and $8 usd to go from the US to Canada. Wow!

Clickbait...as usual total bullshit

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I truly value viewer opinions and will keep them in mind for future videos.

The country may be falling apart, but at least there's a new bridge. Looking forward to the people of both countries bridging together.

[@bobjonesrealtor7756]

Lol. Hopefully we'll see better years ahead. Not much support for the Liberal govt, eh?

The background music is both unnecessary and ridiculous. The longer it goes on, the more it is ridiculous and irritating. I can;t stay and put up with it. This attempt to manipulate your audience, for which there is no need... Also, thus slow middle class voice, slow...

[@bobjonesrealtor7756]

Hi Miklo. I'm always looking to improve. I do appreciate we all have a right to an opinion. However, if you don't like what you see and hear, try to helpful with positive critisim, not simply insulting. Your comment is not constructive in any way. I will remove these types of responses.

Should Canada finish this bridge considering the Trump tarrifs?

$6.5 BILLION and counting.

Not bad when we consider 15 billion for the battery plant in Windsor.😎👍
