A heavy haul transportation corridor from local industry to docks in Sarnia-Lambton is another step closer to reality.In its Fall Economic Statement, the Ontario government has committed to streamlining superload permits which would make approvals more efficient and save businesses money.Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership (SLEP) Project Leader Dave Moody says it would be a huge benefit to the oil and gas, bio-chemical, mining, bio-fuel, agriculture, shipping and manufacturing sectors.Modifications to existing roads including widening, and eliminating power lines , are estimated to cost $3.6-million.Moody expects the Ontario government�s new regulations to be in place sometime in 2016.He says SLEP along with the Sarnia-Lambton Industrial Alliance will continue to work with local industry to develop a business case and detailed engineering plan for the corridor.
