Just to review the bidding, the tolls on the Gordie Howe Bridge are $5.75 for a car as opposed to the Ambassador Bridge which is about $10 for commercial traffic. For a big five axle vehicle, it's $43 to go across the Gordie Howe, as opposed to $100 going across the Ambassador Bridge. So there's definitely a difference there. The Canadians paid up front for the bridge and we are paying them back through the tolls that are collected over the next few decades, frankly, the pedestrian side of the bridge. (01:41–01:51)
