		The Canso Causeway was built at a narrow location on the Strait of Canso, several miles northwest of Port Hawkesbury and Mulgrave, crossing from Cape Porcupine near Auld's Cove on the Nova Scotia side to Port Hastings on the Cape Breton side.
		The Strait of Canso was permanently blocked on Friday, December 10, 1954, however construction continued through the winter on building the roadway and railway line, as well as finishing the Canso Canal and its swing bridge.
		Aside from blocking sea ice, the blocking of the Strait of Canso caused significant environmental damage from the enormous changes in the tidal regime of the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence all the way to the mouth of the St.

		In the maritime region, the fishing areas of Canso and Gaspé were separated from the fertile agricultural areas of the basin of the bay of Fundy.
		Canals had been provided by 1850, but they were already outdated by competing railway lines in the United States, and iron ships were needed to carry goods abroad when railways had brought them to the ports.
		Completion of the upper St. Lawrence canals to fourteen feet by the beginning of the century, deepening of the ship channel to twenty-five feet, and improvement of the gulf, with the development of wireless, enabled Montreal to establish a position of first importance as a competitor with New York for North American grain.
