Alabama Port Authority awarded $67,300,000 for rail capacity expansion
The Alabama Port Authority received a $67,300,000 CRISI award to support an inland intermodal facility and lead track construction.
The Federal Railroad Administration awarded $67,300,000 in FY2023 Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements funding to the Alabama Port Authority. The grant supports engineering design, environmental review, and construction across two subprojects: an inland intermodal container transfer facility in Montgomery, Alabama, and the Chickasaw lead track in Mobile, Alabama. Together, the projects expand freight rail capacity to support international import and export flows through the state. The Montgomery inland intermodal container transfer facility is planned to offer an alternate shipping route between the Port of Mobile and central Alabama while reducing container storage congestion at the port.
