Port of Long Beach Announces Partial Closure Planned for Carrack Avenue

 

A portion of Carrack Avenue in the Port of Long Beach will be closed for eight months beginning Nov. 4, to accommodate a utilities relocation associated with the construction of “America’s Green Gateway,” the Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility, a $1.567 billion project that will dramatically enhance the efficiency and sustainability of cargo flow at the port complex.

Crews will be staging in the area to relocate pipelines from within the Pier B project footprint. The area of Carrack Avenue closing is between Pier B Street and Pier A Way. Carrack will remain open south of Pier A Way. A detour will be posted along Pier B Street and Pier A Way.

The Pier B rail yard is now under construction and will be built in phases, each enhancing more sustainable cargo movement. It is scheduled for completion by 2032. The facility will more than triple capacity for on-dock rail – a system where rail cargo is moved directly to and from marine terminals by trains, reducing emissions and stress on the local and regional road network.
