Gateways and Border Crossings Fund

Modern, efficient and reliable infrastructure is essential to ensure that Canada continues to reap the benefits of growing international trade. Developing our trade-related transport systems is vitally important to our economy.

Guided by the National Policy Framework for Strategic Gateways and Trade Corridors, the Gateways and Border Crossings Fund will improve the flow of goods between Canada and the rest of the world. This merit-based fund will enhance infrastructure at key locations, such as major border crossings between Canada and the United States.

At least $400 million from this fund will be devoted to the construction of the new access road linking Highway 401 to the new bridge crossing between Windsor and Detroit, the busiest gateway for Canada-United States trade, and one of the most significant commercial trade corridors in the world.

Transport Canada is responsible for the Gateways and Border Crossings Fund. For more information please consult the Canada's Gateways website.
