Making the Lauzon connection With the right connection, land ready
for development is practically “on” the 401
With the Herb Gray Parkway and the DRIC bridge “on the 401” is practically “on the border.”
Containers to and from the Continental Rail Gateway pass through the area serves by Lauzon connection.
Building infrastructure is only half the job.
