Kapuskasing - Transportation

Transportation

Travellers reach Kapuskasing by car, by Ontario Northland bus or by plane.

The town's pulp and paper mill is served by the Ontario Northland Railway, which took over the trackage serving the mill in 1994. The mill is located just off the original National Transcontinental Railway mainline (NTR) that was later nationalized as part of the Canadian National Railway. The railway line crossed the Kapuskasing River in 1913 and was the main means of transportation accessing the town until the late 1950s and early 1960s when Highway 11 became the main route to the City.

Kapuskasing Airport was once a refueling stop for Trans Canada Airlines flights in the days before jet airliners. It now has scheduled air service to Timmins.
