Gordie Howe Bridge Vehicle Traffic Tops 340,000 in First Full Month of Operation The Gordie Howe International Bridge has been open for a month, with over 340,000 crossings in its first full month of operation.
This number is nearly on par with the Ambassador Bridge's traffic volume. The novelty of driving on a brand new bridge has yet to wear off, and people are still curious about the new span.
However, many trucking companies have toll price contracts with the Ambassador Bridge, which makes switching to the Gordie Howe Bridge less attractive – at least until those contracts expire, as pointed out by supply chain management professor Jason Miller.
