The Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority (WDBA) has named the three teams that will be invited to submit proposals for the Gordie Howe International Bridge project linking the USA and Canada.

Legacy Link Partners, Bridging North America and CanAm Gateway Partners achieved the highest scores among the six teams vying to win the public-private partnership contract.  The teams include major international contractors and designers - see list below.

The new Gordie Howe International Bridge will link Windsor in Ontario with Detroit in Michigan. Conceptual designs have been produced for both cable-stayed and suspension alternatives.
