据知情人士透露,连接美国密歇根州底特律与加拿大安大略省温莎的戈迪·豪大桥(Gordie Howe International Bridge)预计在 7 月底前向商业交通开放 [1]。此前该项目的开通因美加两国官员间的外交分歧而推迟,目前双方已就导致延迟的“遗留问题”达成协议并予以解决 [1]。
在引发争议的背景下,特朗普政府曾要求加拿大交出至少一半的桥梁所有权 [1]。该项目耗资约 44 亿美元,资金由加拿方负责融资建设 [1]。密歇根州长格雷琴·惠特默(Gretchen Whitmer)对大桥即将开通表示祝贺 [1]。
Sources indicate that the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor is expected to open for commercial traffic by the end of July [1]. This timeline follows a resolution reached between U.S. and Canadian officials regarding disputes that previously delayed the project's completion [1]. The delays were attributed to diplomatic disagreements involving issues such as ownership claims raised by the Trump administration, which had requested Canada transfer at least half of the bridge's ownership [1]. According to sources, both nations have now agreed on solutions for these remaining contentious points [1]. Construction of the infrastructure was financed largely by Canada and cost approximately $4.4 billion in total [1]. Gretchen Whitmer, governor of Michigan, offered congratulations as the project approaches its opening date [1].
