Sarnia Council has endorsed the business case for establishment of a proposed oversized load corridor.
The analysis, completed by Canadian Pacific Consulting Service in association with Anderson Haulage, concludes the corridor project is financially viable and beneficial.
The report and a previous detailed engineering study give local municipalities the information needed to apply for senior government funding for the necessary infrastructure improvements. Road modifications and removal of power lines is estimated to cost $3.6-million.
A permanent corridor to truck industrial modules through the city to Sarnia Harbour is expected to be of huge benefit to local industry in various sectors.
