BREAKING: The operators of the Canadian-financed Gordie Howe Bridge have announced their toll rates.

And they're significantly less than the Ambassador Bridge, whose private owner has lobbied the Trump administration to block Gordie Howe from opening.

Washington — Tolls to cross the not-yet-open Gordie Howe International Bridge will be less than half the fees at the competing Ambassador Bridge for both passenger vehicles and commercial trucks, according to rates announced Wednesday morning by the new bridge's operators.
Commercial shippers that sign up for the Gordie Howe bridge's "Breakaway" discount toll program will pay charges of $6.90 U.S. dollars per axle. The comparable rate for A-Pass and E-ZPass holders crossing the Ambassador Bridge is $15 U.S. dollars per axle.
For typical five-axle semi-trucks, that represents a $40.50 cost advantage for a truck to cross the new publicly owned Gordie Howe Bridge rather than the privately owned Ambassador Bridge.
For passenger vehicles, the Breakaway toll on the Gordie Howe Bridge will be $4.35 USD per crossing. The minimum rate available on the Ambassador is $10.
