The government of Canada has allocated C$254 million to support the Saint John Trade Corridor project, which aims to unlock more capacity at Port Saint John in New Brunswick.
Together, the federal government, New Brunswick's Regional Development Corp., the Saint John Port Authority, New Brunswick Southern Railway and the New Brunswick Department of Transportation and Infrastructure will implement a series of improvements at the port, enabling it to handle between 850,000 and 1 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUS) annually.
Planned work includes expanding warehouse capacity, dredging, marine service upgrades, establishing a new Canada Border Services Agency container examination facility, stabilizing the Bayshore Rail Terminal shoreline, implementing continuously welded rail across 64 miles of track and reconstructing Simms Corner to separate rail and road traffic, government of Canada officials said in a press release.
The work will improve port operations, strengthen rail connections, reduce dwell and delays and enable the port to handle higher-value cargo and larger vessels, they added.
