A Future with the Gordie Howe International Bridge

[@robertstanlake3382]

Best video so far , very informative!!!

[@smithterrance459]

Can't wait to see when it's all done

[@jetsamperes5762]

by the 6th minute all I can hear is the music looping over and over and over.... and over.

[@Daddytransit]

And the AI generated voice

[@cooldraggon333]

Something is wrong with your decide then, I can hear the audio just fine

[@bearinmind50]

Yeah, I had to give up on it because of the droning music.

[@personnesenki4521]

This. Is. So. Beautiful. Every part of it. Great to see Canada and the USA working together to move forward.

[@budway1942]

Dont know about working together...Canada pays usa benefits...

[@dcb113]

Exactly.@@budway1942

[@bigjohn2810]

Canada is under Chinese controlled, o wait, so is USA. So I guess You would call it "working together"

[@JerryKosloski]

I just like the name of the bridge.

[@frankhurt6083]

Great Video very informative

[@MrMitch5656]

2.5 KM's is not half a mile... it's 1.5 miles

[@cooldraggon333]

Great catch!

[@haighter5115]

Yeah, I looked it up. The span will be half a mile, or about 800 meters.

[@Mk99987]

Not very reassuring if the owner doesn,t know how long the bridge is.

[@haighter5115]

I'm not concerned because I am sure the engineers know, even if the guy voicing the KZbin video doesn't.@@Mk99987

[@MrMitch5656]

@@Mk99987 Well with a project to this magnitude you'd think they'd get their facts right. I don't know what special kind of person thinks a half mile is 2.5km's

[@billgoin4004]

Will they accept EZ Pass as a payment method?

[@classicsforever.]

Probably not considering, it funded entirely by the Canadian government

[@-Katastrophe]

....Wait, there are other massive bi-national construction projects along the US-Canada border?

[@cinemaipswich4636]

The only other bridge going over this river, charges $45 for each truck. After 50 years of Geographic Monopoly, they are suing the new bridge makers.

[@Jhossack]

Hope the bridge has plenty of rail. The future is here.

[@lazamair]

@@Jhossack There is a rail tunnel that travels under the Detroit River...though it may be for freight use.

[@Innovatormusicgroup313]

Why was the bridge called the Gordie Howe bridge? Wasnt he a hockey player

[@mikehayakawa7192]

Buffalo and Fort Erie could use a twin span bridge

[@dcb113]

Really? You have two bridges in the Falls 10 min. away.

[@colinmerrilees]

Seriously, At 3:20 "a clear span or 2.5km or half a mile"?!?!? OMG do Americans really have no education or conscience awareness at all when it comes to the metric system? (For those who don't get the issue there, half a mile is actually 805m ie 0.8km, 2.5km is 1.55 miles).

[@79kevnor]

I caught that. Somebody let that slip through. 🤦‍♂️

[@Boris_Chang]

Am I the only one who sees the two towers and the cabling connecting them in a sort of mesh, as a metaphor for a hockey goal? I thought so. I also thought I saw Elvis at the Seven Eleven, so…

[@mikedrown2721]

🇨🇦🥰🇺🇸

[@Sacto1654]

They should have built this bridge 20 years ago. By not having to kowtow to the late Manuel Moroun, Detroit's economy would have evolved into a major trans-shipment point of goods between the USA and Canada.

[@qjtvaddict]

Ha good luck

[@williethomas9953]

​@@qjtvaddictGood luck. It already is 25% of all trade between Canada and the US came over the old bridge alone. 962 billion. They estimate with the new bridge that may go up to 1.5 trillion.

[@timkwiatkowski3422]

Good content. I hope I will be able to walk or ride my bike on it soon. I recommend playing at 1.25 speed because, as is, the delivery of the commentary is too slow.

[@xiba3797]

Why TYLin Internationa isn't involved the project design? don't forget Deng Banzhong is cablestay bridge expert?

[@Chris.Brisson]

I predict the US border guards will still be despots.

[@jamesmisener3006]

Always

[@eraldway]

When it opens to the public at the end of 2025 possibly 2026. Also, 8 lanes of tolls for both cars and trucks in one direction is not even close to enough.

[@thomaskirk9546]

Correct. Why so few?

[@dcb113]

Are you talking about tolls or customs? You don't need more than a few for tolls since it's cashless now.

[@MrMitch5656]

Hey Gordie Howe Bridge and Bridging North America, you should address the misleading and incorrect information at 3:21. According to you main span is 2.5 Kilometers or "half a mile" across. Idk where your billion dollar engineers learned to do math but I sure hope this logic isn't used to calculate all the differences between the metric and imperial system on this new bridge...

[@ShakespeareCafe]

China could build this in a year. They have built many huge bridges in half the time. The new SF Bridge section cost 10 billion and took years and they didn’t even put a bike lane all the way across. You have to turn around at the island. American bridge projects are boondoggles

[@gregoryvschmidt]

What a load of double speak. This cannot be a “green” project when it’s object is moving more vehicles.

[@rickyboy1947]

and 3 years after the completion of this bridge, the Ambassador Bridge will be torn down

[@pcs5852]

Why?

[@BELCAN57]

Unless it's an unsafe structure, I'd think that keeping both would be prudent.

[@thomaskirk9546]

Think so. Think I read that’s part of the agreement to build the new bridge.

[@CuscaKid]

Nope. They are expanding both plazas and building a new truck inspection facility in Windsor.

[@pcs5852]

@@thomaskirk9546: Had the Ambassador Bridge Company been allowed to build another bridge beside the Ambassador Bridge, part of the agreement was to remove the existing bridge.

[@rickyboy1947]

the border is thickening for sure....more Government control

[@dcb113]

been terrible since 9/11

[@tomrogers9467]

Why even go to the US and risk getting shot in the local food store. Or the mall. Or the bar. Or in your car.
