Canada and the United States have agreed to delay the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Ontario and Michigan, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority said.

The opening has been delayed to take “the necessary time to resolve any outstanding issues,” the bridge authority said in a June 11 statement, without providing further details.
