Montreal Port Expansion Unveiled | Canada News

Port of Montreal’s massive expansion in Contrecoeur is officially underway, with construction now diving into the St. Lawrence River to build a new container terminal wharf. Already, 250,000 tons of rock have been delivered to lay the foundation, and dredging kicks off in late 2027—with full completion targeted for June 2029. Environmental safeguards are in place, including sediment curtains and real-time air/water monitoring, while DP World will manage the terminal for 40 years once land facilities are finalized. Backed by a major Canada Infrastructure Bank loan, this $1.3 billion project aims to boost Montreal’s capacity by 60%, handling over a million containers annually—and could open as early as 2030.
