Very glad to see this stay come. It’s a much much better deal toll wise than the Ambassador Bridge, and it’s a straight shot in to that bridge from real highways.

(I already made up my fax, cover letters for Brokers for the common ones in the east for this Border Crossing last Friday)

I think that at least with this bridge Canada sees some revenue. They don't with the Ambassador Bridge.
Canada paid for the construction of this bridge in its entirety, in the deal that it had between Canada and Michigan (not Trump), so it should see some revenue.

The ambassador bridge is privately owned.

Canada will get all running operational bills paid and then any profit is split for a bit.

Still a better deal than the Ambassador bridge which pays zilch because the bridge owners also own the Canadian company that they pay tolls to.

No wonder they didn't want the Gordie Howe bridge open.
