Detroit, Michigan
The construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge is a major infrastructure project spanning both the United States and Canada. The bridge is named after Gordie Howe, a Canadian ice hockey player who was one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.
The project involves a significant workforce, including engineers, construction workers, project managers, environmental specialists, and various other professionals. These workers come from both sides of the border and collaborate to ensure the successful completion of the bridge.

Awesome Flying ! Superb Camera work ! and your Music selections are icing on the cake ! BRAVO Mr Anthony !!!! sbf

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍 Thank you so very much, SBF!

[@kurtboginski507]

Certainly a mindboggling project. When you look at the detail from your videos, you wonder how is all that possible? Engineering is wonderful. Thanks again for the birdseye views of what we woulld never be able to see without those excellent videos you produce.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

It is a very big project. It’s massive.

[@thomasdragosr.841]

It's good to see something being built! This reminds me of the nuclear plants I worked on in the 70's and 80's. Every piece of that rebar is layed and tied by hand to a design drawing then the form is cleaned of any debris before concrete is poured.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

@@thomasdragosr.841 That must be very tedious.

[@thomasdragosr.841]

@@michaelanthonyvideos Yes but it’s a good living.

[@kerryj4846]

That was cool how you flew through that bridge. great work on video. also pretty cool how the workers on the bridge wave to you as you fly. 😀

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

That’s the Zug Island swing bridge. Thank you for watching the video! 👍

[@soothvideos]

Michael, this is a spectacular video, thank you! 🙏 😊

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Thank you so much! 👍

[@jays.4254]

BRAVO Michael!!!! The intro through the bridge of Zug Island was great, the guys love their pictures taken, thank you for showing us the intricate details of the roadway, it is so incredible to see how it's done and the detail of the cables of the bridge, it's amazing to see this. We could never have seen this without you. Eveyone is enjoying what you are showing us. Thank you!!!!!

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Thank you Jay! I love the train tracks on that bridge. I will get some video of a train crossing it.

[@pacificcoltrane7652]

Awesome video of a once-in-a-lifetime type of bridge. The closing of the middle span marks a key date in the completion of this epic structure that will be used by millions of people and vehicles over the next 100 years. Can't wait to drive across it.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Thank you! Are you going to cross it?

[@leeriffee4606]

Only time will tell how long some of these modern bridges will last....especially with the harsh winter climate of the area. But I'd imagine it might be around for at least 70 years or so.

[@horseplop9]

Wow what a Bridge

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

It’s massive.

[@user-gg8bt9dp6i]

I enjoyed these videos! Thank you 👍👍

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

My pleasure!

[@jacktaggart2489]

+Thanks for labeling the 'River Rouge'. Great low flying views of the yet to be ensconced with concrete rebar. It certainly has an air of near completion at this stage. Looking forward to walking across the new span. Thanks for posting!

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

My pleasure!

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

I plan on walking and driving across it as well.

[@billkramer2994]

Yes not "Rouge River" talk about uninformed! What nxt "River Detroit"

[@pitrow66]

Looking good.

[@yur1i]

The stark contrast between the green and well-groomed area of Holcem Lafarge cemen silo north of the US-side bridge pillar and the black delapidated Zug island south of the pillar never ceases to amaze me

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

That is pretty amazing. It’s a unique area that the bridge is in the middle of.

[@veloise]

1:48 Hello to you, gentle resident of Canada!

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

👋 Hello !

[@MadawaskaObservatory]

There is a similar bridge in Montreal, Champlain Bridge, opened not long ago, that has a rail crossing. It would have been nice if they included a rail crossing too!

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

There’s a rail tunnel and maybe the cost would have been to high.

[@ILikeDoritos456]

Stainless steel rebar. Impressive.

[@WellsLarry]

Nice work Michael.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Thank you, Larry!

[@heber0101]

They could be something like this is Baltimore, when they replace the Key bridge that got knocked down by the container ship. The Howe is looking very good.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

I hope so..

[@leeriffee4606]

I'm from the Baltimore area and I wonder about that too. I do think we will get a bridge something like this one but of course not on that massive scale. The access roads are already there (Baltimore beltway) and the new Key Bridge will still have 2 lanes in each direction.

[@veloise]

2:25 I was hoping they'd beckon you over for a close-up!

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Me too!

Thank you for watching!

[@WeazelJaguar]

Post tensionong out the sides of the deck?

[@kennixox262]

Nice to see the progress. Do the workers need daily passport control access to the worksite? Or do they paint a line on the order and post border guards?

[@veloise]

As a civilian ... passports are looked at after one crosses. I would think that the workers access their jobsite from their country of residence, and then their PP or enhanced license is reviewed when they head for home.

[@kennixox262]

@@veloise Or I would think that it could be for the time being like the Peace Arch on the border between Washington State and B.C. You are free to go in on "your side" of the border go over to the Canadian side but can't leave the park. My original question was in jest and no doubt that both countries worked that out during the treaty process for the bridge.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

The workers need to be cleared by customs on both sides of the bridge now.

[@chrismoyler]

DO WE PLEASE have a picture of the large precast slab units being lifted into place on top of the deck structure? I guess this is why the large crawlers haven't yet been removed?? Tky. BRILLIANT VIDEOS!!!

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Dude, I’m doing the best I can. I do have video somewhere of them being lifted. I think in my previous video actually.

[@wdhewson]

Is Zug Island derelict?

[@FrankaiVideos-DetroitsComeback]

Almost. Only thing is the Coke Batteries. They make the best Coke around. Essential

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

It’s a toxic wasteland.

[@WeazelJaguar]

Looks like the crawlers have been moved, dismantled yet?

[@leeriffee4606]

Now that I can see a lot of the surrounding area (at least on the US side) I am wondering why they decided to include a pedestrian walkway on this bridge. It looks as though there is really nothing around there that would draw or support a lot of foot or bike traffic. In other words, an industrialized area like this would see very few people out for a stroll or bike ride. Unlike the Brooklyn Bridge which is in NYC where there is plenty of foot traffic, or the Golden Gate Bridge which is in San Francisco and is of course a tourist attraction in and of itself and so draws lots of foot traffic. Probably lots of people will come out to walk across the Gordie Howe Bridge once it is completed and opened, but what about after that? IDK, just seems an odd place for a pedestrian crossing..... Do you think maybe this bridge might become an attraction in and of itself like the Golden Gate or Brooklyn Bridge?

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

I don’t know, Detroit is a car town but there are more people riding bikes these days.

[@inqwit1]

That's a bit of rebar.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

The most I have ever seen.

[@markplaton84]

Nothing like rusty rebar :)

[@powershop1903]

Holy crap, Michael, that Destiny guy that copies your videos went and made one like this today and copied yours from yesterday. Even his thumbnail was copying you. What an awful thing to do and he has no respect from me for sure.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

His videos will be removed by an attorney with a copyright protection claim with KZbin.

[@rickblaster2965]

I’ll be the one. It’s River Rouge.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Not according to Google maps. Isn’t that the name of the city?

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

I have always called it the Rouge River. I double checked Google maps and that’s what’s on it but when I googled it, it is officially River Rouge.
