Celebrating National Engineering Month on the Gordie Howe International Bridge project
Mar 27, 2024The Gordy How Inter
national
Bridge Project is not only a testament to the power ofengineering
, but also a symbol of the collaborative vision and determination skills of engineers who have come together from around the world to build an iconic structure of the that we can all be proud. As part of National Engineering Month, we spoke with Jonathan Keanu of the Windsor Detroit Bridge Authority about the importance ofengineering
on this legacyproject
. Engineering is essentially everywhere we look, there is an engineer behind every process, every structure and everything we use daily. Gordy how The international
bridge
is already a notable engineeringproject
connecting two countries.
The main
bridge
has a span of 853 m with 216 cables, making it the longest cable state in North America and the 10th largest cable state in the world. The bridge will be the longest composite deck bridge. In my opinion, one of the most interesting things about this bridge in the world is its double track design, which being aninternational
crossing requires the bridge to comply with Michigan and Ontario engineering codes and standards, allowing for a robust design and helps the bridge achieve a service life of 125e. Also one of my favorite things about the Gordy Bridge, howinternational
its design is, which is based on contemporary minimalism that uses simplicity, clean lines, good proportions, openness and transparency towards the horizons of Winsor Detroit, being an engineer in In this project it is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
