OTTAWA \u2014 The Supreme Court of Canada has dismissed an appeal request that sought to halt construction of a massive rail-and-truck hub in the Greater Toronto Area, paving the way for the project to proceed.<\/p>\n

The justices gave no reasons for their decision, as is typical when parties ask permission to appeal to the top court.<\/p>\n

The $250-million project aims to double Canadian National Railway Co.\u2019s existing line of tracks in Milton, Ont., and construct a hub for containers to be transferred between trucks and trains.<\/p>\n

In a unanimous ruling last October, a three-judge panel found a decision by the federal government to let CN build the terminal despite \u201csignificant adverse environmental effects\u201d was reasonable.<\/p>\n

The court case pitted CN and the government against Halton Region and its four municipalities as well as the Halton Region Conservation Authority.<\/p>\n

A lower court decision in March 2024 had highlighted health concerns around air quality, noting the 800 diesel-powered trucks that would make daily round trips to the hub.<\/p>\n
