This 701-kilometer route facilitates the movement of goods between the Midwest's industrial powerhouse and Canada's largest metropolitan area, supporting billions in annual trade. The corridor's strategic importance stems from its role in connecting manufacturing centers, distribution networks, and consumer markets across both nations.
