CentrePort Canada Way

Construction continues on CentrePort Canada Way,
 a $212.5-million four-lane divided expressway.
◦New project underway to ship high-quality Manitoba agricultural products to Chongqing, China. CentrePort Canada has brought together two Chinese companies (Shanghai Invent Logistic & Technology Co. and Minsheng International Freight Co.), CN Worldwide and Canadian Pacific Logistics Solutions to develop a railway containerization project that would increase the export of high-quality Manitoba agricultural products to China.
The project will involve exporting home-grown products such as soybeans, green peas and canola meal to Chongqing, China.
◦CentrePort Canada recently announced its intention to develop a common-use rail facility. 
    Discussions are underway with all stakeholders, including three Class 1 rail carriers (Canadian Pacific Railway, Canadian National Railway and Burlington Northern Santa Fe), on a proposal that would benefit CentrePort-based businesses and increase rail volumes.
 A potential site for the facility has been identified and it could be built on land that will be transferred to CentrePort Canada from the provincial government.
 ◦One-Stop Shop for Foreign Trade Zone Benefits is now open for business and processing applications. CentrePort Canada is the only inland port in the country to offer single-window access to Foreign Trade Zone benefits including duty deferral, sales tax relief and customs bonded warehouse status
