The existing Pier 400 rail storage yard is in need of expansion to accommodate future rail volumes on Terminal Island. The project scope includes a concrete rail bridge with lighting, five new railroad storage tracks, an asphalt access roadway, new crossovers and switches, as well as modifications to the existing compressed air system of the Pier 400 Rail Storage Yard and Bridge. Work also includes the relocation of a portion of the Pier 400 lead track onto Port property, realignment of the track connection to the existing rail storage yard, modifications to Reeves Avenue, and relocation of the existing at-grade crossing at Nimitz Avenue to Reeves Avenue. The project is currently budgeted at $73.2 million and was awarded approximately $21.6 million of California Trade Corridor Enhancement Program (TCEP) federal funding by the State of California. Construction started in February 2022 and completion is expected in 2024.
