Here are some facts about the Gordie Howe International Bridge:
Length
The bridge is about 1.5 miles long and will be one of the five longest bridges in North America when it's completed.
Design
The bridge is cable-stayed and has a main span of 0.53 miles, which is the longest of any cable-stayed bridge in North America. It also has the longest composite steel and concrete bridge deck of any cable-stayed bridge in the world.
Towers
The bridge's Canadian and US towers are each over 625 feet tall, but will eventually reach a height of 722 feet.
Bridge deck
Construction of the bridge deck began in December 2022 and was expected to be completed by the end of June 2024. The deck is made up of 54 segments, including a custom-built mid-span closure that takes four to six weeks to install.
Cables
The bridge has 216 stay cables, and all but 10 were installed by mid-June 2024.
Path
The bridge will have a 12-foot-wide path for pedestrians and cyclists, which will be the first legal way to cross the Detroit River on foot. The path will connect to local trails and streets on both sides of the bridge.
Connections
In the US, the bridge will connect to Interstate 75 with dedicated ramps, and 1.9 miles of the highway will be widened and rebuilt.

Kind of weird that these very frequent drone videos rarely catch anyone dong any actual work. Explains the over six billion dollar cost and years and years of delays just to cross a river. No wonder these government projects and the associated labor unions have such a bad reputation.
That's what I was thinking ..... always so many either sitting or just standing around watching ..... let's delay the completion for another 8 months and add some more money to the cost. At least it's the Canadiens this time paying for all of it.
You have NO IDEA what that Billionaire that owns the Ambassador Bridge did to delay this, do you?
@@chrisdains8499 Should have been the Wings paying for it. Gordie never played for the Canadiens.
So I'll informed. The 9 months of delays were caused by the Covid 19 shutdown and the subsequent supply chain bottlenecks when things resumed. Not from workers standing around doing nothing. The bridge didn't miraculously build itself.
Apparently you never saw those guys hanging out over the river when they were installing girders and cross beams.
Everytime I watch one of these I am in such awe. This is such an incredibly massive structure and cables keep this up and strong. It's so hard to wrap my mind around it and how we could design something like this. What an amazing thing the Canadaians and Americans are doing, simply amazing and lucky to have Michael showing us this. Happy Holiday everyone!
@@jays.4254 It is an amazing bridge and project. There’s still another year left of construction. Thank you for watching, Jay!
Canadians are paying for this whole endeavor? Did you not know that? The whole bridge you d u m m y. The whole Michigan interchange? The Canadian Govt. I am sure you are a Russian bot. Would you like me to say how awful you are in Russian? Go Ahead. How could you not know? Anyways, I have seen your tag before and noticed the same questions as you are asking right now. The same words, just pasted, just slightly different tag name.
Great footage sir
Great video happy 4th to you Michael 🗽🎆
@@kerryj4846 thank you Kerry, happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸
GREAT JOB to ALL who worked on this job... and to you Michael for taking us along !😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
@@robertlafnear7034 it’s my pleasure, Robert! Thank you for watching the video.
Thank you so much Michael of this video. I literally cried to see it come to this. I spoke Russian in thanks. Most of my ancestors Immigrated to the southern Michigan area in the 1920's when the border was non exsistant at that time. That congresswomen Slotkin is related to me, and also Else Stefanik is also. That pains me greatly how Else Stefanik is forgetting her Eastern European Principals. They are forgetting their honor.
@@Sandra-mw3yp I didn’t know there’s wasn’t a border at that time. Interesting. 🤔
So Else Stefanik is Russian?
@@michaelanthonyvideos I have to ask you Michael - are you bothered by it? In the 1900's to the 1930's no - there was leratal no border - yes there was, all was but a string...but not much more. Does that bother you?
Else Stefanik is Poliish. Polish-Ukrainian. To see her cowering to DJT is an insult.
@@Sandra-mw3yp No it doesn’t bother me at all, I wasn’t aware that there wasn’t one at that time. Before the Europeans settled here it was all Native American land and they crossed the river on conues and used Belle Isle as a trading post.
@@Sandra-mw3yp I’m Polish as well.
Ironworkers Local 25 is probably looking for guys.
All you people that are running your mouth about not doing anything should go down and sign up for the apprenticeship and get on the gravy train.
Carpenters probably looking for apprentices as well.
Agree the guys sitting on buckets in man baskets give a look of laziness.
Bridging North America is a Fluor Construction Venture. If you think there is bureaucracy, nepotism, and extra fat on the top of government, try working for a huge construction firm.
@@KAM-zi9zl Construction is booming now.
These "Ironworkers" contribute more in one day than any politician on earth !!!
They sure do. Thanks for watching!
Nice tour sir ! 👏🤙
@@blueman5924 I’m glad you enjoyed it!
So why all the Plywood? Then the bridge deck? So confused wish i knew what the process is for building the roadway. Seems like a ton of wood for a thick concrete road.
@@413led I don’t know but a subscriber said it may be to absorb vibrations.
Union Carpenters need love, too! Looks like normal concrete formwork whereas the cabled portion used prefab panels. "Shit, there's the drone boss! look busy!"
What do you think is the formwork under the newly poured slabs ? The plywood. Then it’s stripped off from the underside once the support cribbing is removed. 👍
@@bdetexas2269 Hide the beer 😁
Another great video! I can see you standing next to your open tailgate at the turn in the road, correct?
@@thxdts Yes, that’s me. Thank you for your nice comment!

Q: Why do bridges cost so much money?
A: All of it is overhead.
What is the plywood being used for? I would think most decking for bridge decks would be corrugated metal sheets that they pour concrete on top of. I assume they're not going to pour it on top of plywood, so what's the purpose of it?
Plywood is commonly used as formwork for cast in place concrete. It retains the wet concrete in place until it cures.
The corrugated metal formwork, commonly referred to as Qdecking, is primarily used on steel structures as it gets tack welded to the roof trusses.👍
Thank you for answering that!
@@HelmutWelker so does it stay under the concrete?
@@tonynacelewicz4588 No it is removed once the concrete reaches its design strength, normally at least two weeks after the pour.
That weirdo copies all of your videos must constantly stalk your channel because he made a new Hudson video to make it look just like your last one. So weird. I sent him an email and he’s very annoying and immature and acts like a 12 year-old.
@@soothvideos channels that plagiarize and copy other peoples videos don’t ever last. they don’t realize that the AI algorithm picks up on plagiarism and UA-cam won’t recommend their videos and they won’t get many views. And the videos won’t be up there much longer either and they’ll be strikes against their channel.
I noticed it too.
@@michaelanthonyvideos True. Fly by nighters just causing confusion.
It’s lunch time
I’m sure you weren’t fixated on that one worker peering into the cable ancho - rather imagine you were focused on that group of precision jigs fastened there, and enquiring minds want to know why they are needed there ?
@@happyhome41 Of course I wasn’t focused on that young lady whatsoever. 😉
On a construction job like this you will have multiple crafts in the same area some times.Ironworkers,carpenters,cement finishers,laborers etc and one craft does not do another crafts work edit there will also be foreman for each craft that do not touch the tools,engineers from the company building the project and a whole bunch of safety guys bird dogging you just to see if you slip up so they can put it in their report that they caught you doing something wrong
Yes, I see ironworkers and carpenters in a different area
What are those white bars sticking out from the side of the bridge?
@@davedunham7910 it might be for when they pour the concrete. I’m not sure.
probally transver post tension stressing tendons to laterally reinforce the bridge deck
Hey, MA, the soundtrack are great !! Thanks.
@@wdhewson thanks I’m glad you like it! Thank you for watching.
Behold the awe-inspiring triumph of the 'toxic' masculine mind as it wages a legendary battle against the primal forces of nature!
@@a7xcss 😁👍💪 Happy 4th and thanks for watching!
