The Alberta HUB region has a highly-developed roadway network, rail system and air service connecting the region provincially, nationally and internationally – ensuring safe, efficient and cost-effective logistics.
The Alberta HUB region is part of the Eastern Alberta Trade Corridor (EATC), which offers direct access to international markets. The EATC is the northern portion of the Ports to Plains Corridor, connecting to the heartland of the United States through the Wild Horse Port of Entry or Coutts/Sweetgrass Ports of Entry.
The Alberta HUB region is connected via highways 36 and 41 to the Ports to Plains Corridor route linking the prairies to major Midwest U.S. cities and down to the Texas Gulf coast and Mexico. These designated north/south routes, Highway 36 and 41, move oversized overweight loads in and through the Alberta HUB region to the oil sands projects in the Alberta HUB region and northern Alberta. The Alberta HUB region is a perfect location for manufacturing as all industrial districts in the region are connected to these major highways.
Canada’s two national rail carriers service the Alberta HUB region: Canadian National (CN) and Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). These rail networks allow goods to and from northeastern Alberta to be delivered anywhere in North America and to tidewater on both the east and west coast. Both have either a mainline or secondary line running closely adjacent to Highway 16, the Yellowhead, through the southern reaches of Alberta HUB.
The new Alberta Midland Railway Terminal Ltd. (“AMRT”) in Lamont County supports development in Alberta’s industrial Heartland by increasing the efficiency of rail operations in the region. Numerous direct rail access points exist in Lac La Biche County, Thorhild County, Smoky Lake County, Lamont County, Minburn County and County of Vermilion River.
Commuting workers and shippers of goods can leverage the over 31,000 ft of runway across nine airports in the Alberta HUB region. And the region is in close proximity to Edmonton and Calgary International Airports, which offer daily flights to major Canadian, American and international cities. Excellent opportunities exist in all nine of Alberta HUB airports, airport expansion, future commercial land development, medevac and private aircraft traffic service. These airports can be accessed via our Interactive Map.
The Alberta HUB region is strategically located to Canada’s largest port, the Port of Vancouver. The Port of Vancouver is Canada’s main gateway to the Pacific Rim. The Port of Prince Rupert is also strategically located to the Alberta HUB region and is a northerly west coast alternative for moving freight to Asia.
