The Port of Long Beach is set to begin bidding in early 2024 for its Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility, a groundbreaking $1.567 billion initiative aimed at modernizing and expanding the existing rail yard. The project, anticipated to conclude in 2032, involves adding over 130,000 feet of rail, quadrupling track numbers, and enhancing overall efficiency for container movement. The facility's growth will more than triple the port's on-dock rail cargo handling capacity, with a focus on reducing emissions, congestion, and enhancing sustainability in line with the port's environmental goals. The strategic move aims to accommodate cargo growth, prevent supply chain disruptions, and promote a green approach to trade activities.
