The construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge is a major infrastructure project spanning both the United States and Canada. The bridge is named after Gordie Howe, a Canadian ice hockey player who was one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.
The project involves a significant workforce, including engineers, construction workers, project managers, environmental specialists, and various other professionals. These workers come from both sides of the border and collaborate to ensure the successful completion of the bridge.

Most of us have no idea of what goes into building something like the GH Bridge. Those workers are excellent at what they do, and it is amazing to see it all coming together.
When I drive this bridge, I'll appreciate the aesthetics and engineering, but mostly I'll respect those men that built her !!!!
Great close ups of the various work ! 👍👍
Thank you for watching the video Blueman!
The shot where you see those heavy crawler cranes and the gap between shows the strength of those cables supporting that weight.
So another great video detailing how they pull the cables. Learn something new with every episode. Once again, Thanks Michael.
It's my pleasure Kurt!
Thank you! I had commented a few weeks ago wondering how the cables were installed, and this video is exactly what I had hoped to see! ♥
My pleasure!
This is a testament to What Real American & Canadian Workers Do. Job Well Done Everyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Joseph!
LOVE this !!! “32 to 138” strands - what determines the numbers ? How big are the strands ? What is their tensile strength, and is it linear addition for more strands equal more strength ? Those spools of strand cable were a great capture. And does a strand run continuous from one anchor point on the river side of the bridge to the opposite anchor point on the land side of the bridge, or are they disconnected, and connect at the top of their respective tower ?
More explanation requested for the second portion of the video - with the rolling gantry over the field of tight rebar - what was going on there ?
More video like this pretty please.
Also, your videos are even more important than perhaps most folks realize. With the collapse of the I-95 Francis Scott Key bridge near Baltimore resulting from a ship strike, the only discussion I have heard in reference to an ultimate replacement is a cable stayed bridge following the lead of Gordie Howe bridge architecture.
To your final point; I just read a news article that said:
"An Italian company that helped rebuild a bridge that collapsed in Genoa, Italy, in 2018 said it is ready to do the same in Baltimore.
The Webuild Group sent a preliminary design and plans to Maryland officials for the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge on Friday. The company said its cable-stayed bridge aims to improve several functional aspects, including safety, adaptability and sustainability."
Source is WTOPnews out of Washington, D.C.
IMO, it had better be a U.S. designed and constructed bridge given the amount of my tax dollars going to the effort!
I left out the most important point the article made.....a cable-stayed design allows piers to be further apart, effectively widening the ship channel
Here is a breakdown of the strands and why they are varied.in each section. The closer you get to the middle or the joining point the strands increase in numbers. The middle section will have138 strands that connect from each side while the other end which is the entrance from both sides will have less strands because they are being supported by cement pillars underneath the decking so it doesn't require as many strands to help hold them sections up. This bridge will be featured on an episode of "Modern Marvels" hopefully soon and I would bet because it is modern engineering at it's best. This is going to be a very strong bridge for many decades.
Great questions, @Happy! I asked many of the same. And thanks to @Harry and @Dan for some answers!

These guys and gals are talented. Can’t wait for the,Joining of the Two sections. Great video. G
Loks like just four more segments should do it!
Yep that's what I was going to say, drove under it 4 weeks ago, a nice ride.
Absolutely spectacular videos!
Thank you Patrick, glad you enjoy them!
Floated under there yesterday and caught a boatload of walleye. This video is absolutely amazing!
The walleye fishing is good now! Thanks for watching!
just want to say thanks. been watching a long time. seems the end is in sight
It’s my pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Once again, beautiful filming!
Thanks for posting!
My pleasure, thank you for watching!
Another great video! Awe inspiring! Hats off or I should say helmets off to all the workers on this project!
Thank you!
Very nice video. I was wondering how they did that. Amazing engineering. Designed to withstand being full of loaded trucks. Truly building a gateway between countries.
Thank you!
That one guy seemed pretty happy to have a drone observer.
Yes he does. They can show their friends and family now.
been waitn on this vid!!! i know i keep sayin it but your vids are just Awesome..thank you..!!!
Thank you David!
just ask a question,but what does the yellow machine thats spread across the road deck do ,thanks
The wet cement will be placed in front of it and will be smoothed out and finished. The part working the yellow machine, Bidwell, will move side to side, and then the entire machine will move forward as needed. Balls to the wall production. There will be a group of machines making cement, a cement plant.
Absolutely mind boggling that that bridge can support those cranes when it's not completed.
It sure is. And with the crane, trucks, equipment etc.
Pretty soon, they'll be able to throw nuts and bolts at each other. It won't be the ones used to bolt the bridge together! Another good one, Michael.
Cable bridge no support structure in water for ships to hit awesome
Corpus Christi, Texas is doing a cable stay bridge also!!!!!
Cool! Make some videos…
I have so many questions...
- How do they fasten the cables at each end? Or do they just continuously loop it back and forth?
- How do they tie the loose ends of each source-spool together? Or are the cables pre-cut to the correct length from road to tower?
- Do they tighten each cable the exact same tension as all others? Or are some more tightly stretched than others?
Thanks Michael.
My pleasure!
It’s incredible that they fabricate those cables on the bridge
Thanks for watching!
I'll be down at Delray the day it connects. Should throw a huge tailgate.
That's a great idea!
First bp I've seen actually contributing to this project. Two! LOL Let's hope it doesn't collapse at any point because they were sleeping on the job.
I would like to see how the cables are attached at the top and bottom.
Tune in today at 6:30 est.
two segments American and 1 and a half segments Canadian we are getting close the final 50 feet is within reach. 3 more weeks and we connect.
They seem to be moving quickly pour concrete on both sides ramps also. Curious how much last the connection time it will be before they can drive from country to country without a crane involved!
Why do the HDPE covers not end at a consistent elevation? Are they going to be trimmed later once they are all installed?
I'm not sure.
When will it be fully connected?
Soon...
The Canadian side looks lower......just kidding! Any Canron or DCM veterans out there?
Just means there’s going to be a speed bump in the middle of the bridge 😂😂
😆
😃👍
Really lost focus with the Stay cable portion of this video…. What so cool about the bid well?? Should rename the video
Who do you call on the phone when you see the drone?
