Ontario has come up with $1.5 million for Sarnia-Lambton’s oversized load corridor.

The $17-million project, which began last year, will result in an improved road route to move large industrial components to and from Sarnia Harbour.

It involves moving lights, poles, wires and other obstructions along the route to support manufacturing jobs by making it less expensive to move locally made goods.

Financial commitments have come from the federal government ($6 million), Sarnia ($4.7 million), Cestar College ($4 million), Lambton County ($1.2 million) and St. Clair Township ($100,000).

“This project will help to support our world-class fabrication shops and local industry,” said Sarnia-Lambton MPP Bob Bailey.

The expected completion date is 2022.
