Contrecœur Terminal expansion project
About the Contrecœur project
The object of meticulous planning since the late 1980s, the expansion project at Contrecœur is the most ambitious project ever undertaken by the Montreal Port Authority.
With several stages already complete, this project will generate substantial economic spinoffs for the South Shore of Montreal as well as Quebec and Canada while improving the resilience of national logistics chains for the benefit of consumers.
The project will be built, operated and maintained by a private partner to be selected at the end of a rigorous procurement process, which is currently under way. Construction of the terminal is due to begin towards the end of 2023, with the gradual commissioning of facilities expected to start in late 2026.
The Contrecoeur project is:
A necessary expansion for importers, exporters and consumers as current Port of Montreal facilities approach full capacity



Economic spinoffs across the country of over CAD $140 million per year when it is in operation
