华盛顿6月11日电（路透社）——一座连接底特律和安大略省温莎市、造价47亿美元的新大桥原定于近日开通，但其管理机构周四表示，大桥开通将被推迟。
路透社看到的邀请函显示，戈尔迪·豪国际大桥原计划于周五举行正式剪彩仪式。

“加拿大与美国已同意推迟大桥开通时间，将用必要时间解决所有未决问题，”温莎-底特律大桥管理局表示。
加拿大总理马克·卡尼表示，这座新大桥将在数十年间惠及加美两国民众、企业、游客和居民。“所有人都在努力确保大桥尽快开通。哪怕需要多花一点时间也没什么大不了的，该多花就多花，”卡尼说道。
白宫尚未就此置评。
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普曾于2月威胁要阻止大桥开通。
特朗普2月时以加拿大拒绝在加拿大商店货架上架部分美国酒精饮料、加拿大对乳制品征收关税以及加拿大与中国的贸易谈判为由，表示他可能不会允许这座大桥开通。
这座大桥于2018年开工建设，由加拿大出资，因为美国拒绝承担建设费用。大桥建设成本将在30年内通过收取通行费收回。
美国国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林斯上周在参议院听证会上表示，该部门已“准备就绪”，可为戈尔迪·豪大桥配备工作人员。
这座新大桥将有助于缓解目前由私人所有的大使大桥进入底特律的货运交通压力。大使大桥是美加边境最大的货运口岸，截至2023年，经该口岸由商业卡车运输的货物价值达1260亿美元。
根据温莎大学的一项研究，新大桥将把过境时间缩短20分钟，30年内可为卡车司机节省23亿美元成本。
特朗普在第二个任期内多次威胁加拿大，大幅提高了对这个美国北部邻国的关税，并于本周表示可能不会续签美墨加自由贸易协定。

WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) – A new $4.7 billion bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario that was set to open in the coming days has been delayed, a bridge authority said on Thursday.
A formal ribbon-cutting had been planned for Friday for the Gordie Howe International Bridge, according to invitations seen by Reuters.

“Canada and the United States have agreed to delay the opening of the bridge, taking the necessary time to resolve any outstanding issues,” the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority said.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the new bridge will benefit Canadians, Americans, business, tourists and residents for decades. “Everyone’s working hard to make sure the bridge is open as soon as possible. There’s no big drama if it takes a little longer, it’ll take a little longer,” Carney said.
The White House has not commented.
U.S. President Donald Trump in February threatened to block the opening.
Trump in February cited Canada’s refusal to stock some U.S. alcoholic beverages on Canadian store shelves, Canada’s tariffs on dairy products and its trade talks with China as grounds for why he might not allow the bridge to open.
Construction of the bridge, which began in 2018, was financed by Canada because the U.S. refused to pay for it. The costs will be covered by tolls over 30 years.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said at a Senate hearing last week the department was “good to go” to staff the Gordie Howe bridge.
The new bridge will help ease truck traffic on the privately owned Ambassador Bridge into Detroit, the largest freight port on the U.S.-Canada border, which handled $126 billion of value traded by commercial trucks as of 2023.
It will cut 20 minutes off the crossing time, saving truckers $2.3 billion over 30 years, according to a University of Windsor study.
Trump has made a number of threats against Canada in his second term and drastically hiked tariffs on the U.S. northern neighbor and this week said he might not renew a free trade deal with Mexico and Canada.
