The Bridge Over the River Quai and The Dam Busters pop into my consciousness.

Especially given Canada basically paid for the whole thing

Thank goodness it wasn't named Gretzky. I don't know why it would be, but glad it wasn't

i for one am looking forward
to riding my bike to Windsor if they will have me. I’m guessing by then there will be a travel ban…

I was planning to head down with the kids and our bikes and ride across. That trip will be indefinitely postponed.
We will find a nice Canadian route to ride instead!

Put up barrier gates in the shape of Howe's elbows.

My kid spent a semester there as foreign high school student. Lovely place.

In Brazil we have a saying about government projects - “connecting nothing to nowhere!”

Us Hockey fans (Red Wings)will always know of Gordie Howe. Solidarity between our Countries will continue. This Bridge represents that. We in Michigan love our neighbors to the Great White North. 🇨🇦🇺🇸 peace ☮️ and ❤️

❤️❤️❤️ Separately, I grew up the biggest Steve Yzerman fan - which became complicated when I became a leaf fan (yes it’s depressing)

The Captain. Back in them days hockey was my addiction. And Joe Louis Arena is where I got my fix. 🥰👊I thought everyone on the team was a relative.😂 my first game was the Wings and Calgary Flames. 🔥

Yes yes!! Saw a few games at the Joe! Finally got to the new rink last year - nice to see my old friend.
