A new bridge connecting Detroit to Canada is nearing its opening. After a delay, US and Canadian officials have reached an agreement, allowing the bridge to open by late July. The delay was caused by unresolved issues between the two countries.

The bridge's opening was initially postponed from a planned ribbon-cutting ceremony in early June. Commercial traffic is now expected to start before August 1, although a new date for the ceremony has not been set.

Further details on the agreement and the bridge's opening are available from sources involved in the negotiations, although they have not been publicly disclosed.
