Time-saving tech is coming to two new U.S. border crossings – By Joann Muller (Axios) / June 22 2021
Two giant infrastructure projects under construction in San Diego and Detroit aim to expedite the flow of people and goods throughout North America by using connected-vehicle technology.
Why it matters: The new international border crossings, both funded by public-private partnerships, are designed to bolster trade with Mexico and Canada while reducing wait times and improving local air quality.
- They also offer a glimmer of hope to border communities ravaged by the lack of tourism after more than a year of pandemic-related travel restrictions.
On the northern border, towers are rising for the Gordie Howe International Bridge spanning the Detroit River between Michigan and Ontario.
