here's the letter I sent the Canadian minister.
Afraid I can't attach the image.
   =====
While traveling across the 401 earlier this month we saw a sign, 
image attached, which will soon be giving delays at the border 
via the bridges (plural!!!) and tunnel between Windsor and Detroit.  
When we saw the "Gordie Howe" listing, we smiled as this was yet 
another indication the bridge will soon be here.

Well, the current schedule is September, 2025.  Which is still a long 
way off, but construction is definitely proceeding.

Hence, might I make a suggestion which will certainly draw smiles 
from travelers:  As soon as the sign is operational, activate it 
with (as example): "via tunnel: 15 minutes".  
"Ambassador Bridge: 20 minutes".  
And finally:  "Gordie Howe Bridge: 8 months!: (I'd recommend 
the exclamation point).

Thank you for your attention.   Sincerely,


--
