Governor Snyder Announces Plan for New Bridge

Posted: Updated:

Governor Rick Snyder and Canada's Prime Minister Steven Harper announced plans for the new international trade crossing today.

Snyder says the bridge will offer a more efficient connection between I-75 in Detroit and Highway 401 in Canada.

It will cost around $1 billion to build.

Canada will pay half of the bill with the rest coming from matching funds from the US Transportation Department.

The construction should create around 10,000 jobs.
