Heather Grondin to speak about “The Story of the Gordie Howe International Bridge”

We’re open! The Gordie Howe International Bridge is transforming how people and goods move across North America through Windsor and Detroit with a direct, highway-to-highway connection. Learn more about the history behind the project, the eight years of construction that brought this new crossing to life, and key amenities and features of the facilities including the multi-use path and “Breakaway”, the toll discount program. A community-driven approach was paramount throughout overall project delivery, valued at $6.4 billion (CDN). From the environmental study to construction, and into operations, this approach created opportunities for two-way dialogue, benefiting the project team and giving a voice to the neighboring communities so that priorities for regional investment could be achieved. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to go behind the scenes of one of the most significant infrastructure projects in our region’s history.  You’ll see the Gordie Howe International Bridge from a new perspective and discover the people, planning and innovation behind this remarkable undertaking.

Heather Grondin is the Chief Relations Office for the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority.
