Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada agreed to delay the opening of a new $4.7 billion bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor at the request of the U.S. government. Carney stated that both countries agreed to take the necessary time to resolve outstanding issues.

The U.S. and Canada have decided to delay the opening of a new $4.7 billion bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, that was set to open in the coming days after U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this year threatened to block the crossing.

The opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge over the Detroit River is officially delayed, with no date given for allowing traffic to use the new border crossing between the U.S. and Canada. The Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority issued a statement on the delay.
