CN Seeks to Capitalize on Port's Advantages with $122M Prince Rupert Bridge Project

In 2019, CN and the Port of Prince Rupert collaborated on a $122 million initiative to build a new double-track bridge over Zanardi Rapids, upgrade the existing single-track bridge, and enhance the causeway to improve rail capacity.
CN initiated this project to address a natural bottleneck at the Zanardi Rapids, which limits rail traffic to 24 trains per day despite growing demand.
The project is central to CN's bold, long-term investment strategy to unlock the port’s full potential and strengthen North America's supply chain resilience and efficiency.
CN indicated that the project will enhance and secure the corridor's capacity for many years ahead by adding several miles of new track, reinforcing the port’s position as a rapidly expanding gateway located 500 nautical miles closer to Asia.
This infrastructure enhancement, together with other ongoing port projects, strengthens Prince Rupert's position as a premier gateway to important continental population and industrial centers while reducing transit times to Asia.
