once opened, I wonder where this bridge will rank among the busiest international crossings (bridge or tunnel) in the world. At or near the top, I would think.

It's gotta be near the top. I think Ambassador is still #1 in North America at the moment. Presumably this will surpass that when it opens.

Canada - US crossing volumes have generally been in decline for several decades. This will definitely become the preferred crossing for the Detroit Windsor area, but it may not be the busiest any longer as it will likely split a lot of volume with the Ambassador. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Peace Bridge in Buffalo ends up on top instead.

That looks awesome. It doesn't seem like there is anything similar planned on the US side in Detroit, though. Big missed opportunity.

That's so Canada. Caring about art and aesthetics and native people 'n stuff. Sigh.
