Gordie Howe Bridge (US-Canada)

I saw one FB video today (unfortunately lost the link) which showed the poster crossing from the I-75 south exit.

Surprised to see that the toll to Canada is paid AFTER clearing Canadian customs on the Canadian side.

Also per the video, the first 10,000 vehicles to cross received a commemorative post card noting the opening of the bridge and an image of Gordie Howe himself.

The Peace Bridge and Lewiston-Queenston Bridge both have that setup, as did the Seaway International Bridge before Canadian customs was moved to the mainland.  The Ogdensburg-Prescott Bridge has that setup entering the US, as does the Ambassador.  The toll plaza is just whatever is most convenient for the roadway configuration at a given crossing.
