en.Wedoany.com Reported - The U.S. Maritime Administration has awarded an $11.25 million Port Infrastructure Development Program grant to the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay to advance the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port project. The port, located on the North Spit of Coos Bay, spans 175 acres and is a proposed sea-rail intermodal container terminal.

According to Progressive Railroading, the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port will be built approximately six miles upstream from the Coos Bay harbor channel to increase port capacity and provide shippers with trade options offering direct connections to inland markets. The grant will be used to improve cargo handling facilities in the terminal area and strengthen connections with the Coos Bay Rail Line.

Previously, the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port has received multiple federal funding awards, including from the Nationally Significant Multimodal Freight and Highway Projects program, the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements program, and the Railroad Crossing Elimination program. The State of Oregon has also committed $100 million to the project. The project also involves rail line upgrades and channel expansion.
