The Gordie Howe International Bridge

https://gordiehoweinternationalbridge.com Its always nice to see a new bridge in the world that wouldn't be allowed in backwater Vancouver.

The bridge should have had a 4th lane or wide shoulder on each side. That would have been good extra space for a potential bus lane on each side of the bridge.
