Gordie Howe bridge opening pushed back over unnamed 'issues'

Michigan’s new Gordie Howe International Bridge on Thursday faced further delays in opening, amid Washington’s feud with Canada over the massive infrastructure project.

The 1.5-mile-long crossing will connect Detroit to Ontario, with its half-mile span over the Detroit River making it the longest of any cable-stayed bridge in North America. President Donald Trump has railed against Canada over the bridge, even threatening to block its opening, due to concerns that the country has too much control over the critical crossing point and is taking advantage of the United States.
