The Gordie Howe International Bridge project is a once-in-a-generation undertaking. Not only will the project deliver much-needed transportation improvements for international travellers, it will also provide jobs and opportunities for growth to the Windsor-Detroit region and includes features that make this project truly distinctive.
The project is being delivered through a public-private partnership (P3). A public-private partnership is a long-term performance- based approach to procuring public infrastructure where the private sector assumes a major share of the risks in terms of financing and construction and ensuring effective performance of the infrastructure, from design and planning, to long-term maintenance.

Le projet du Pont International Gordie Howe est une entreprise générationnelle unique. Ce projet va non seulement grandement améliorer le transport pour les voyageurs internationaux, il offrira également des emplois et des opportunités de croissance dans la région Windsor-Détroit et possède des caractéristiques qui le rendent véritablement distinct.
Le projet du pont international Gordie-Howe est réalisé par l’entremise d’un partenariat public-privé (PPP). Un partenariat public-privé est une approche d'approvisionnement d'infrastructure publique à long terme et basée sur la performance pour laquelle le secteur privé assume la majeure partie des risques en ce qui concerne le financement et la construction, et assure le rendement efficace de l’infrastructure, de la conception et de la planification, jusqu’à l’entretien à long terme.

D’Andra it’s good to see this. I hope every African American child see this and say “ I want to be like him.😊
D'Andre, terrific explanation... how exciting and rewarding it must be for you to be a part of such an incredible project.
What?
Simply awesome, D'Andre, and a great presentation. The GHIB is a already a source of pride for so many of us in the region. Go Detroit Go Windsor!
Great job explaining the construction of the cables and the bridge, D'Andre! I'm an engineer and I lived in Detroit until I was 12. That was over 50 years ago but I still have love for the Motor City. I can't wait to cross the bridge once it is completed.
D’Andre: Excellent explanation of the engineering behind the cable structure of this bridge. I too am a graduate of CASS Tech ‘72. My degree is in Mechanical Engineering from MSU. Walker being such a common name, we may be related. 😊. Proud of you. Keep up the good work
I'd like to sit down with this gentleman and pick his brain for hours. This is really interesting. Thanks for taking the time to explain it.
D'Andre, Detroit and Michigan is proud of you and what you do. This project is historical!
And windsor ont and Canada. Well done.
D'Andre is the MAN!!!! Love the way he explained everything. Please, please, please make more videos like this..Grab D'Andre if you can't find anyone else to do them.
Skip that icky acid rock guitar noise, though. :)
D'Andre you gave us very good insights of how this bridge is constructed.
My daughter and family live a little south of Windsor. I will be looking forward
to crossing the new bridge after it is complete.
Thanks for the great explanation, D'Andre!
Thats awesome 👍🏿 I always love bridges and towers I should have pursued this career when I was younger. I had a friend That his father had a towered company out of Virginia. And he let me paint the Tower on the ground. It was 980 feet. I always come down and watch the process of the bridge. I know we're on a tough boat so I do see the progress daily. Keep up the good work young man. I'm proud of you.😊
How excellent is this international venture? Words can’t really express the joy we have in experiencing this bridge construction and completion in our lifetime!
Amazing how the cables are built and installed , thank you D’Andre 👍
That was an excellent and interesting explanation of the cable stay installation process. As one of our own, D'Andre is doing all of us in the Detroit/Windsor metropolitan area proud.
Great explanation.
Great to see a hometown boy in charge of something this big, that would definitely make y’all proud.
Keep up the great work D’Andre, looking forward to more videos from y’all.
D’Andre, please describe how the stay cables are affixed to the tower. I can’t see from any drone pics or description specifically what the connection is at the tower is it a hook, a coupler…what is it?
DeAndre,
Thank you very much. You should be very proud. I live in Marion, Virginia and I watch every video that comes out. I am 71 and grew up in Pontiac and Southfield. My mother graduated from Cass Tech. Marty Howe, Gordie's oldest son was a year behind me in high school. The world is much smaller than you'd think.
I would like it if you could make a second video of the cables being attached to the tower and the bridge deck. Is it possible to see a drawing of the structure of the tower? In layman's terms, how is the cable attached? And, how is the load transferred down? Are cables coupled through the tower? Or, are they independent? The outer pipes all stop short of the deck connection. Will you be adding pipe around the strands to fill the space? You mentioned the spiral preventing the formation of ice. I've seen similar spiral fins added to smoke stacks and cylindrical towers to prevent harmonic vibrations from the wind. Are there similar concerns with the cable stays?
I bet you weren't expecting all these questions.
Again, thank you very much. You should leave work every day with a smile on your face.

This is a very informative video. It was well explained such that folks can clearly understand how the bridge is constructed. I learned so much and I work in road building. The young man explaining was excellent at presenting the inner workings.
Thank you D'Andre, and huge thanks to your entire team. It's an amazing thing that you all are building for us.
Great interview; thanks for posting.
Nice clear explanations. He should be proud, as should the whole team, up and down the line, both sides of the water. 👍👍
Proud of young Man, You your team keep up the great work!!!
Great Man keep up the good work
That was a very interesting explanation of how the cables are constructed by Mr. Walker. More of that sort of content I am sure would be welcomed by your viewers.
Great Video very informative
D'Andre is a complete success story. Congrats on a terrific presentation. Super video!
Great video. I was lucky to be able to watch Flatiron build the Port Mann Bridge in 2009-2013. Very interesting.
Thank you !
Glad I'm not the guy in charge of making each side line up when they reach the middle!
I’m pretty sure they know what they’re doing and have equipment to scan and ensure everything is to lining up.
and calculating in metric/English, with transpositions!
I hear you but I know It's gonna be perfect, the engineers and the lasers and the steelworkers are going to make it happen.
D'Andre, that was a great explanation! Well said and broken down nicely. But how are the cable attached into the vertical bridge towers? How much concrete was poured for each tower? Is there a staircase inside or elevator?
Interesting video. Progress every day. Detroit is moving on up!! G
very nice and smart men!
thank you sir
Great information. I wish the vid. wasn't very blurry.
Huh.. surprised there are so relatively few cables in each stay, considering the weight they have to support
how much will it be to cross the bridge?
are the towers hollow?
I see a door about half way up.
just curious...
so the white 'pipe' protecting the cables is actually plastic?
how did they transport the cables?
wtf?
is it like a bunch of small cables that were weaved together on site?
.....great video 👍
Just watched another video about stay cable bridges and the strands come off spools.
@@mclifer cool
Great ambassador for the project and Detroit but, WHY IS HE WEARING A RAIDER’S T-SHIRT ???
Great job, D'Andre. As a civil engineer I''m very impressed with your presentation and knowledge. Unfortunately, I think there are a lot of people who will be disappointed that you're destroying the stereotype.
People will always believe what they want to believe. It’s wise not to broadstroke and paint everyone with the same brush regardless of background.
Great job bro👍🏿
will there be oberservation decks on the tops of the towers on both sides? a great tourist attraction for sure....thanks D'Andre
