Prime Minister Carney has announced that ground has been broken on the Contrecœur Container Terminal Project
This project will expand the capacity of the Port of Montréal by approximately 60% – making it the largest eastern port expansion in Canadian history. The expansion will add a modern, high-efficiency container terminal with integrated rail, road, and marine infrastructure. It will unlock one of Canada’s most critical trade corridors, enabling significantly more goods to move reliably through the St. Lawrence gateway.
Expanding capacity at the Port of Montréal ensures the port will meet increased demand, seize future growth opportunities, and maintain the efficient movement of goods for Canadian businesses and consumers into the future. The project will support 4,000 high-paying jobs a year during construction and thousands more once operational. It will generate roughly $750 million annually in economic benefits and strengthen supply chain resilience across Canada.
