Bridge To Strengthen Trade Act officially added to the International Bridges and Tunnels Act schedule

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

A previously pending amendment to the International Bridges and Tunnels Act has now come into force. The schedule of that Act — which lists the bridges and tunnels subject to federal oversight — has been updated to formally include Entry 54, the Bridge To Strengthen Trade Act. This confirms that the bridge covered by that statute (the Gordie Howe International Bridge corridor) is now fully within the federal regulatory framework for international crossings. Operators, owners, and users of affected infrastructure should be aware that the full federal oversight regime under the Act now applies to that crossing. No entries were removed; the change integrates what was previously flagged as a not-yet-in-force amendment into the consolidated text.
