Inland terminal facility evaluation
Project Stage
About the Project
Over the past decade, various concepts for different inland terminals have been raised, but none have moved forward. There are potential benefits of establishing an inland terminal as this could improve goods movement, provided the development was well-situated and well-designed.
Benefits
- Improves reliability
- Enhances the flow of exports
- Increases speed to regional markets
FROM THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Action 2.1.3: Support the evaluation of additional sites for potential inland terminal facilities.
The potential for additional inland terminal facilities represents a more permanent solution to the speed and reliability issues with heavy truck access to the Halifax Port. These facilities can help improve the flow of exports via the port and the flow of goods to regional markets in Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada. Link Nova Scotia will support industry in the evaluation of potential sites.
