Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says the Gordie Howe International Bridge across the Detroit River will open to traffic at the end of the week, following earlier uncertainty and threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to block it. Multiple outlets, citing Carney’s remarks, report that the Canadian-built bridge is moving toward opening soon and that Carney characterizes the expected opening as positive for U.S.-Canada cooperation. Other reporting adds that the opening has experienced delays, including references to “outstanding issues” and timing changes from an earlier plan to open later in the month. Bloomberg reports that the United States and Canada are delaying the opening of the C$6.4 billion bridge linking Michigan and Ontario, describing it as a previously threatened project. Collectively, the coverage reflects a shift from a delayed opening schedule to a targeted end-of-week timeframe, while acknowledging that the final opening date may still move “a little longer” than initially expected.
