After 25 years of planning, seven years of construction and months of delays, the first trucks are finally set to roll over the Gordie Howe bridge on Monday. In tow will be some of the billions of dollars worth of goods that pass through the Windsor-Detroit corridor, which the bridge will help get to their destinations faster — saving time and money.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge between Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit is scheduled to open to traffic on July 27.
