Route Description
Everything you need to know about the corridor San Juan de Terranova (St. John's) - Detroit
The logistics corridor between St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Detroit, Michigan, represents a vital cross-border freight route connecting Atlantic Canada with the industrial heartland of the United States. This 2,437 km corridor facilitates the movement of goods between Canada's easternmost port city and one of America's most significant automotive and manufacturing centers.
