Rail Project Meeting Set for March 3

The Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility project team will update the public during a virtual community meeting. The facility is the centerpiece of the Port of Long Beach’s $1 billion rail capital improvement program. It will shift more cargo to “on-dock rail,” where containers are taken to and from marine terminals by trains, reducing truck trips throughout the region. No cargo trucks would visit the facility. Instead, smaller train segments would be brought to the facility and joined together into a full-sized train.

Construction is set to begin in 2023. The first arrival, departure and storage tracks are expected to be completed in 2024, with additional tracks coming online in 2030, followed by project completion in 2032. View the project fact sheet and more information at www.polb.com/pierb.

Time: at 10 a.m. March 3

Details: You can join this virtual meeting from a computer, phone and other mobile devices. Click here to register. https://tinyurl.com/yd6bnb7r The meeting will be recorded and posted on  the Pier B project page for those unable to attend.
