Province Contributes $1.5 Million to Oversized Load Corridor

Wyoming, ON - The Province of Ontario is contributing $1.5 million to the Oversized Load Corridor (OLC) project, through the Southwestern Ontario Development Fund. This funding will be shared by project partners to implement the $16.5 million infrastructure improvement project.

"We are pleased that the Province has chosen to join with the County of Lambton, City of Sarnia, the Federal government and local industry in supporting the Oversize Load Corridor Project and its goal of improving the access of local area skills and trades to global markets," said Lambton County Warden Bill Weber.

The OLC will provide a designated route to the Port of Sarnia for the unhindered import, export and shipment of oversized products. The OLC will reduce risk during transport, maximize efficiency between manufacturers and the Port, and will contribute to the growth of the skilled trades and manufacturing sectors in Lambton County.

Work to relocate utilities and improve transportation infrastructure along the OLC began in 2019 and is expected to continue until 2022.
