    Iron workers installing a 68,000 lb steal cross beam in Windsor, Ontario.
    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.

      Imagine if film was used... where would a big role of film go in a drone? How big would a drone have to be to record this?
      Digital cards and cameras have come a long way to make this type of recording so much easier, not filming, there's no film as some people still call it.
