The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway stretches some 3,700kms from Anticosti island at the gulf of the St. Lawrence to the westernmost port of Duluth, Minnesota on Lake Superior. Before the seaway, ships sailing around the great lakes were stuck at either end of the impassable Niagara River due to the falls – for cities like Detroit, Cleveland, and Chicago – something had to be done.

The St. Lawrence Seaway, on its completion in 1959, was one of the most impressive and complex infrastructure projects ever undertaken – not to mention by two countries at once! Today, the seaway brings ocean-going traffic to ports on lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron, Superior, and Michigan – and brings the products from these communities to markets around the world.

Come with us on an adventure along the seaway – and discover what the Highway H20 is all about!
