To mark “2000 Days of Construction,” the Gordie Howe International Bridge project team held a hard hat sticker contest. This was a chance for the public to demonstrate creative skills and show appreciation for the thousands of workers making the Gordie Howe International Bridge project a reality. Congratulations to the winners. 

Kids Ages 6-12 

  • First Place – Abigail Wang 
  • Finalists – Hayden Kovac and Sam Zhou  

Youth Ages 13-17 

  • First Place – Gaahei Lau 
  • Finalists – Yi He and Amanda Kameoka Ungaro  

Adults Ages 18+ 

  • First Place – Sherry Tu
  • Finalists – April Adan and Aaron Wigcherink  

The first-place designs are printed as stickers and distributed to the workers who don their hard hats every day. Just as a passport stamp is proof of places visited, hard hat stickers represent projects and construction sites worked. 

Members of the public can also pick up stickers for free, while quantities last, at our Community Offices in Sandwich and Southwest Detroit. For hours and location, visit our contact page. 

Eighty-nine designs were submitted across all three age groups. Three finalists from each group were selected by a panel of WDBA employee judges before turning the final say over to the Gordie Howe International Bridge project’s social media followers who voted online and chose the winners. 

Thank you to everyone who participated in the “2000 Days of Construction” Hard Hat Sticker Contest.

A decade of dedication: WDBA celebrates 10-year anniversary

Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority (WDBA) is celebrating its 10-year anniversary.  WDBA started operations in July 2014, when the Government of Canada announced the appointments of WDBA’s first CEO and Board of Directors, and, with the Government of Michigan, the appointments of the Canadian and Michigan members of the International Authority.

The Future of Public Art

The Visual Art Program on the Gordie Howe International Bridge project was developed to create memorable, high-quality, works of art consistent with the international importance of the bridge and to celebrate and to promote creativity and friendship between Canada and the US. Multiple artistic features have been incorporated into the project as a result of ongoing community feedback to integrate cultural and historical recognition features where possible.
