They are getting so close, it seems like it’s nearing the point where you can almost jump from one side to another.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge project is continuing along, and a recent photo posted by the bridge authority on its Facebook page illustrated just how close it is to a milestone moment in the project.

The photo above shows that the two bridge decks, one that started on the Canadian side of the Detroit River and the other on the American side, are nearly ready to be connected in the middle.

It has been estimated that the two decks will officially be connected sometime in May, although no official date has been designated. The bridge was originally expected to open later this year, but it was announced in January that pandemic-related delays pushed back the opening until late 2025.

Still, as motorists who drive by it each day can see and photos depict, the bridge is definitely taking shape. It’s a marvel being built right in front of the public eye, and as the photo above illustrates, we are getting closer to that milestone moment of the bridge decks being connected.
