Since the Welland By-Pass opened in 1973, commercial traffic — roughly 3,000 vessels and some 40 million tonnes a year between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario — runs east of town, while the old downtown cut became the recreational Welland Recreational Waterway. There is no container or general-cargo terminal at Welland; for forwarders it is a transit point rather than a port of call.
