Taming the St. Lawrence Seaway Shows Canada’s Major Stake
Canada funds two thirds of the 305 million dollar St Lawrence Seaway project linking Montreal to Lake Erie. The United States contributes about 90 million, with Canadian dredging and locks scattered along the route. Despite visible American work near Ogdensburg, most Canadian effort lies inland under water, reflecting foresight and cooperation.

Seaway Megaproject Transforms Montreal to Lake St Louis Route
Readable sections describe the St Lawrence Seaway's deepening and widening work around Montreal and Laprairie Basin. Engineers move 7.5 million cubic yards of earth and 32 million yards of rock while dredging locks and building turning basins. The Jacques Cartier Bridge clearance must be raised to 120 feet for seaway vessels.
