    The original Gordie Howe Bridge Construction playlist:
    • Gordie Howe Internatio...
    Iron Workers Local 25 celebrated after the last steel crossbeam was placed. The final connection will be pieced together with custom steel, made off site.
    Gordie Howe International Bridge is a six lane bridge with a width that allows for a future expansion to eight lanes, and will still include the pedestrian trail. It's going be the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America and will also set a world record for the longest composite steel and concrete cable-stayed bridge deck in the world.
    The Gordie Howe International Bridge will connect Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, in Canada. The bridge is named after Gordie Howe, who played for the Detroit Red Wings. The bridge will facilitate trade and traffic between the US and Canada and provide another crossing point between Detroit and Windsor.
    The bridge is designed as a cable-stayed bridge, with cables anchored to pylons that support the bridge deck. This design allows for longer spans with a nice appearance.
    Six Lanes: The bridge will have three lanes in each direction to for vehicular traffic between Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario.
    Pedestrian and Bicycle Access: The design includes pedestrian and bicycle access, providing alternative ways of transportation and recreational use of the bridge.
    Customs and Inspection Facilities: The bridge will feature customs and inspection facilities on both the Canadian and U.S. sides to facilitate the fast flow of international trade and travel.

      60 miles north is another border crossing with 2 bridges & an under river tunnel. That crossing is favored by truckers for ease of crossing & road connections because of current conditions in Detroit area. This new crossing, point of entrance & vastly upgraded roads & their connections, in Detroit, should relieve some of the aggravation of using Detroit as a POE. Remember too, as there is little " rush hour traffic"( local) in Detroit, as cross nation employment is not premitted, on a large scale.

      Best thing would be to do a little research on the subject. There is a 100yo bridge, RR under river tunnel & a car tunnel at Detroit for border crossings. The bridge is 4 lanes but, can't handle the shipping anymore. The infrastructure surrounding the bridge & tunnels was not keeping up to demand & volume of traffic on both sides of the border. So, the new bridge, complete road systems & customs area were built to alleviate the issues. 60 miles north are 2 large bridges & an under river RR tunnel also. Detroit connects to I-75 & I-94 freeways. The one further north connects to I-94 & I-69 freeways. I-69 is ( on paper) a direct route from Canada to Mexico.

    The difference in height looks serious. Did they misconvert from meters to feet between the Canadian and American sides? I heard about a bridge in Europe that also ended up at different heights due to the fact that on both sides there were different zero marks above sea level, because they measured them relative to different seas

      One reference was the Mediterranean Sea, the other the North Sea. There is a difference in elevation between the two.

      @@BasementEngineer It was Laufenburg bridge across the Rhine, opened in 2004. "Switzerland and Germany use different references for sea-level: the Mediterranean Sea and North Sea respectively. The result is that height above sea level differs by 270 millimetres (0.89 ft) between the two references. This quirk was known to the engineers and they accounted for it, but the calculations made a sign error. Rather than cancelling out this known difference, it instead doubled it to 540 millimetres (1.77 ft)"

      Not quite connected, but once it is, "Once a physical connection is made over the Detroit River, the bridge is treated as an international crossing by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) resulting in both agencies having a presence on respective bridge sites and all individuals accessing the bridge deck - including construction crews - being subject to the rules and legislation for international crossings."

    • @michaelanthonyvideos
      @michaelanthonyvideos  28 дней назад

      They didn't ask me for my permission and want to enrich themselves off of footage that they are too lazy to take themselves. All they do is have an AI program put a video together and make money off of it without doing any of the work. That's in bad taste. They removed my watermark without my permission.
      I contact these fly by nighters before I submit a copyright request and ask them to take it down but they are too unethical to do so.
      Actually it may be people from China who don't even speak English or have any respect for our laws and values.
      Either way, I'm not their slave that goes and does all the work so that they can steal it.
      Also, I sell exclusive rights to my videos on stock video sites so it creates confusion for the company who purchased the exclusive rights footage.

    • @puirYorick
      @puirYorick Месяц назад +1

      It's up to the (Canadian) owners of the bridge to put as many Canadian flags as they feel is necessary on the Canadian side of their bridge. I notice Americans often put flags on nearly everything while Canadians tend to only do that much flag waving during certain holiday celebrations and at the Olympics and other international sports tournaments. Each to their own style. The two main towers have the giant flag of the appropriate country painted near the top IIRC.
