Iron workers installing a 68,000 lb steal cross beam in Windsor, Ontario.

Gordie Howe International Bridge is a six lane bridge with a width that allows for a future expansion to eight lanes, and will still include the pedestrian trail. It's going be the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America and will also set a world record for the longest composite steel and concrete cable-stayed bridge deck in the world.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge will connect Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, in Canada. The bridge is named after Gordie Howe, who played for the Detroit Red Wings. The bridge will facilitate trade and traffic between the US and Canada and provide another crossing point between Detroit and Windsor.

The bridge is designed as a cable-stayed bridge, with cables anchored to pylons that support the bridge deck. This design allows for longer spans with a nice appearance.

Six Lanes: The bridge will have three lanes in each direction to for vehicular traffic between Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Access: The design includes pedestrian and bicycle access, providing alternative ways of transportation and recreational use of the bridge.

Customs and Inspection Facilities: The bridge will feature customs and inspection facilities on both the Canadian and U.S. sides to facilitate the fast flow of international trade and travel.

    Drones have completely changed videography for the better. Great shots 💪🏻
  • @Mike44460
    Ironworkers, balls of steel!.......Very nicely done, Michael.
  • @dougcarter2271
    This is one of the best videos capturing the placement of the cross beam. Once the last sections are placed on both sides, the final measurement will be taken to make the joining road connector piece, likely in July.
  • @bigbuck2720
    Great video, amazing how something that big fits in so easy, hats off to the men working 140' above the water, you can tell that the walleye are biting with all boats on the water
  • @kurtboginski507
    Amazing just how easy they make it look. Without a doubt, one of the best how do they do it videos yet. Thanks Michael.
  • Absolutely the best of all Michael's videos yet presented! We finally get to see the drone hover in a perfect spot to witness the workers actually attaching a major component of building a magnificent bridge. I hope this is a harbinger of more to come as they inch closer to joining in the middle to complete the span. I predict that now Mr Anthony's subscriber count shall rise! 👍
  • @backho12
    What a wonderfully clear and vibrant video! Good job. I like how the work platforms and other essential items are already staged on the beam before the lift.
  • Another awesome video Michael. It satisfies the little boy in my who always liked watching the construction workers. I also gotta give kudos to the crane operator who is able to maneuver these huge pieces so gently and with such precision.
  • @blackmoom
    Great to watch, those workers on the bridge 👍👍. Also, terrific shot of the freighter passing underneath!
  • @tinlizzie
    Great crane operator and the working crew on each end. Amazing. And great drone work!
  • @marc1553
    I would love to watch them install the cable wire that goes over the tower.
  • @doncc6080
    Best video yet. We actually seen something being installed.
  • @dawgdaes
    Just another day at the office for those dudes. Holy shit they are bad asses. Great video.
  • @fs6622
    By far, the best videos I've seen. This was fantastic to watch. Thanks Michael!!!!!
  • @SunnnyDay
    This is a stunning piece of video footage !! I enjoyed this rare opportunity to see something only a few people get a chance to witness ! Never underestimate Iron Workers !!
  • @railpast
    Mind boggling not only the workers doing the work but the design the construction and making everything fit is just beyond my mind's capability. It's amazing what man can create when they put their efforts together.
  • @joefin5900
    Well planned and executed! Safety at each move. Who said ironworkers are not ballerinas? They dance on the iron.
  • @rawbacon
    No intention of ever going back to this kind of work but glad I got to do it for 5-6 years in my youth. Miss my Old Partner though, Bob Albrecht 1940 - 2017, pure happenstance put me in the business and put me with an Old Pro. Sometimes we just luck out that way.
