The Port of Montreal has decided to spend over US$245 million (CA$335 million) in its new five-year investment strategy for infrastructure on Montreal Island. According to the port of Montreal, key projects planned over the next five years include optimising substations, which will allow the Canadian port to meet the growing demand for electrical energy, optimising rail capacity by adding six kilometres of track, which will improve the fluidity of rail traffic and storage, and wharf modernisation to safely accommodate vessels.
