Gordie Howe International Bridge

The Gordie Howe International Bridge, designed by architect Erik Behrens and AECOM, gracefully spans the Detroit River between Windsor, Canada, and Detroit, USA, uniting two nations through sculptural elegance at a civic scale. Its slender deck, soaring 220m towers, and fan-shaped cables create a striking, light-filled presence animated by the interplay of structure, light, and movement. By day and night, its dynamic form, moiré cable patterns, and lighting artistry by Douglas Coupland establish it as both essential infrastructure and an enduring work of contemporary public art.
