The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay a nearly $4 million grant from the Railroad Crossing Elimination program to help fund construction of a rail overpass and make additional safety upgrades at an adjacent grade crossing in Reedsport.
The $3.99 million grant will support the design and engineering of the new overpass, which will cross Oregon Highway 38, and add safety features at the adjacent rail crossing.
The Port of Coos Bay plans to construct a ship-to-rail multimodal container facility, called the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port. It will be served by the port’s existing Coos Bay Rail Line, which will be expanded as part of the project. The overpass and safety upgrades are critical to supporting the future port traffic, port officials said in a press release.
“This is an important step in building the foundation for a modern, multimodal transportation hub on the South Coast,” said Melissa Cribbins, executive director of the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port project.
