Long Beach Port project means more cargo by rail, less by trucks
Paid in part with state and federal funds, the $93 million Green Port Gateway project solves a critical part of managing cargo growth for the nation’s second-busiest seaport by adding a third track on the southeast side of the port to ease bottlenecks, officials said.
The new nearly 6-mile track near Ocean Boulevard serves the Long Beach Container Terminal, International Transportation Service and Pacific Container Terminal, which combined handle half of the cargo that flows through the port complex.
The project also supports Middle Harbor, a new mega-terminal capable of handling 3 million container units and involved rebuilding part of Harbor Scenic Drive and 6,000 feet of retaining wall.

长滩港项目缓解运输压力
部分官员表示,国家联邦政府投资的9300万美元的绿色港口门户计划将在港口东南侧增加第三条通道来缓解货物量增长压力。
新的通道位于海洋大道附近,长约6英里,主要服务于长滩集装箱码头、国际运输服务中心和太平洋集装箱码头。
该项目也支持中间港,一个能够装卸300万集装箱的巨型码头,并包括港口风景区和6000英尺的挡土墙。
