QuickFacts: What you need to know about Enbridge’s Line 3 project

CALGARY — A quick look at the Line 3 oil pipeline replacement project proposed by Enbridge (TSX:ENB):

Estimated Cost: $7.5 billion

Route: 1,660 kilometres between Hardisty, Alta., to Superior, Wisc. Crosses through Saskatchewan, Manitoba, North Dakota and Minnesota.

Capacity: Would restore the pipeline’s original regulated capacity of 760,000 barrels of oil per day and allow for further expansion to 915,000 barrels per day. The line is almost half a century old and its regulated maximum output has been reduced to about 390,000 barrels per day. The oil goes to refinery markets in Chicago, the U.S. Gulf Coast and the Eastern U.S. and Canada.
