Funding to improve freight transport in Canada
Canada’s government has earmarked up to CAD 12.5 million (EUR 8.7 million) in investment for the Essex Terminal Railway Company to finance a cargo terminal infrastructure expansion project at the Port of Windsor.
The project aims to shift the transport of goods from trucks to trains and ships, which will reduce pollution and congestion along the Highway 401 corridor.
This will make it easier to move steel and aluminum products and attract potential new exports, the government said. It will also open up the possibility of building a new cargo dock in the future that can be used for different purposes. (ben)
