Here's why that's not happening anytime soon: cross-border trucking traffic in Western Canada will cross at Western Canadian border crossings. Cross-border traffic in Southern Ontario will cross at Windsor/Detroit or Fort Erie/Buffalo. And on and so forth -- each region which depends on cross-border trade has its own border crossings to use, so Sault Ste. Marie really only serves Northeastern Ontario and part of Western Quebec, and nobody else. And while that might eventually require adding lane capacity to the existing bridge, there's literally no foreseeable need to build a whole second bridge from Trunk Road to Sugar Island -- especially now that Carmen's Way exists to keep trucks off the downtown streets.
