Sarnia-Lambton is served by a superb network of highways that connects the region to the Great Lakes industrial corridor, the southern United States, and Mexico.
Highway 402 provides access to the Ontario 400-series highway system providing transportation throughout the province towards Quebec to the east and Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia to the west. Highway 402 connects directly to Highway 401, the busiest highway in Canada.
The twin-span Blue Water Bridge border crossing is a key link between Canada and the United States. Strategically placed on the major trade and transportation corridors linking Ontario Highway 402 to U.S. Interstates, I-69 and I-94. The bridge is Canada’s second-busiest crossing for commercial traffic, with over 1.5 million trucks and $42.2 billion in road trade annually. Dedicated car and truck lanes are available for cross border transportation via the Free and Secure Trade (FAST) and NEXUS programs allowing for pre-approved low risk importers, carriers, and drivers, to be cleared into either country with greater speed and certainty, and at a reduced cost of compliance.
Sarnia-Lambton area municipalities and industrial organizations are partnering on the Oversized Load Corridor, a dedicated transportation route that will provide companies located in the region with easier connection to global markets through the Port of Sarnia for the movement of large vessels, modules, and equipment.
With its cost-effective industrial infrastructure, strategic location, and reliable utilities, Sarnia-Lambton is an ideal destination for businesses looking to expand or invest in new operations. Our ready-built assets, efficient logistics, and access to skilled labor allow companies to reduce costs, accelerate growth, and compete on a global scale.
