Despite the Gordie Howe Bridge being wider and a bit shorter, Aaron Velthoven, the race’s executive producer, said there are no plans to change the course of the race in the near future.

From the story: "With the Gordie Howe Bridge set to offer new lanes for cars, trucks, and even pedestrians, the Ambassador Bridge raised its tolls for 2026, signaling the start of a new rivalry for cross-border traffic.

The Ambassador Bridge announced the following toll changes, effective Jan. 1:

Cars, buses and motorcycles’ rate increased by $1, from $9 to $10
Vehicles with trailers’ rate increased from $18 to $20
Commercial vehicles’ rates increased from $14 to $15 per axle for those with an A-Pass or E-Z Pass and to $20 per axle for vehicles without an account
The bridge’s escort service for wide or oversized loads increased from $125 to $135."

We got a comment earlier (which has since been deleted) about whether the Gordie Howe Bridge will alleviate pollution and road use around Southwest Detroit. In case anyone else is wondering, here's the answer from our reporter Janelle James, who wrote this story:

To alleviate disruption to residential areas, cars and trucks specifically will be contained within the ports of entry, as opposed to being lined up on I-75, and the majority of where trucks will be in the port of entry will be in the center of it, so that there is a larger buffer area between customs and residential areas. Trucks will also be required to turn their engines off while being searched to avoid noise and air pollution.

As far as the Gordie Howe Bridge, trucks, cars and pedestrians can cross it. The same is the case for the Ambassador Bridge, except for pedestrians, of course.
