- Welcome to this video about the Gordie Howe Bridge.
In this video we're diving into the fascinating world of stay cables - those impressive strings that make modern bridges, like the Gordie Howe Bridge, look like giant harps.
The stay cables themselves contribute immensely to the overall strength and resilience of the Gordie Howe Bridge. Their advanced design not only supports weight but also helps mitigate vibrations caused by traffic and environmental forces, ensuring a smoother, safer experience for all who travel across the bridge.
Stay cables are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and effectively transfer loads while minimizing vibrations to ensure we get a smooth, trouble free crossing between Windsor and Detroit. So, the next time you drive across a cable-stayed bridge, take a moment to appreciate those mighty cables holding everything together. It's a testament to human ingenuity and some seriously cool engineering.

WoW so Amazing😊😊😊
Thank you Bob, I enjoy your videos
Nice vid, as usual!!!😀
Beautiful and functional
Nice year round footage.
Watching this video I had a flash back to the issues with the Port Mann bridge in Vancouver. For those who don’t learn from history the first snow storm or freezing rain event is going to create chaos if steps have not been taken to prevent ice forming on the cables, melting and thus releasing chunks of ice or heavy lumps of snow to plunge onto vehicles on the deck. This is what happens when a central tower is used for the stay cables because they fan out over the road. When BC built the Alex Fraser bridge it featured H towers so the cables were outside the deck and falling snow and ice falls harmlessly into the river. Nobody thought about it an an FMEA because we get milder winters but we do get some snow and some freezing rain. Did they install devices to mitigate this issue on the Gordimer How?
Correction. Not the Alex Fraser. The Patello was built with H columns
