The Port of Long Beach outlined the capital projects it intends to invest more than $3.2 billion on over the next decade.
As part of a 10-year program, the port said it would be investing in improvements to rail, terminals, roadways, waterways and safety and security. The investment plan also includes infrastructure project to support the use of zero-emissions equipment. Officials said the investments would make the port more efficient and make cargo operations more sustainable.
Included in the plan is more than $1.28 billion that will go toward the Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility. That project is about 40 percent of the overall total, officials said and is the centerpiece of all the improvements the port has made to its rail network to date. Officials said the pier’s goods movement and environmental benefits will reach across the San Pedro Bay ports complex. Construction on the facility began in 2024 and is expected to be complete in 2032.
A little more than a fifth of the total (22 percent) will be spent on sewer, street, water and stormwater projects, the port officials said and will total about $700 million. Another $476 million will be spent on waterfront infrastructure, officials said. And the port said it expects to spend more than $220 million on specific zero emission infrastructure project to support the port’s goal of transitioning all cargo to handling by zero emission equipment by 2030.
Officials said the spending plan covers fiscal years 2026 through 2035 and is still subject to approval by the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners.
