The Montreal Port Authority (MPA) has completed its extensive project to optimize rail capacity, a flagship project to improve the performance and fluidity of its logistics services. Phased in over three years at a total cost of $62.4 million, this ambitious project that extends from Bourbonnière Avenue to Panet Street, near the Jacques-Cartier Bridge, signals a major increase in the Port of Montreal’s rail capacity.
Through the project, the MPA installed two new tracks totalling 6 km of additional track and six switches to serve the 14 terminals and relocated the Port Road and all related infrastructure (sewer, water supply, power and telecom networks, etc.).
