Major projects
By welcoming the growth in traffic and markets, ensuring better integration into the metropolitan urban fabric and maintaining the excellence of its services and activities, the Port of Montreal is reinventing itself to perform better, one project at a time!
With a 1.15 million container handling capacity and major economic benefits, the new Contrecoeur Terminal is a great project for the future of the Port of Montreal and its activities. Spanning Pie-IX Blvd. north of the Port Road, the Pie-IX railway bridge is a key infrastructure at the core of the Port of Montreal’s rail network. The aim of the project is to ensure the long-term viability of the rail link, improve supply chain fluidity, increase rail capacity and optimize the flow of goods on the Port’s rail network. The Port's rail capacity is also part of the projects related to the growth of activities. Six kilometres of additional rail tracks and switches will be added to the Port of Montreal's rail network. A new international container terminal, symbol of the vitality and economic growth of Montreal and the entire region. Following Promenade d’Iberville, Commencement Square and the new cruise terminal, the Grand Quay of the Port of Montreal will be home to an observation tower. A road link between Viau Terminal and Assomption Boulevard will reduce truck traffic on Notre-Dame Street and ensure a continuous movement of containers to and from the terminals.Ongoing projects
