A section of Carrack Avenue within the Port of Long Beach will be closed for eight months, beginning November 4th, to accommodate the relocation of utilities. This closure is a crucial step in the construction of the Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility, a project dubbed "America's Green Gateway." This ambitious $1.5 billion initiative is designed to significantly enhance cargo flow efficiency and sustainability at the port. Work crews will be actively rerouting pipelines within the Pier B project area. The closure will impact Carrack Avenue between Pier B Street and Pier A Way. However, Carrack Avenue south of Pier A Way will remain open to traffic. Detours will be clearly marked and accessible via Pier B Street and Pier A Way. The Pier B rail yard project, currently undergoing phased construction, is set to progressively improve environmentally friendly cargo movement and is anticipated to be fully completed by 2032. Once operational, the facility will more than triple the port's on-dock rail capacity, allowing for direct cargo transfer between marine terminals and rail. This will significantly reduce road congestion and lower emissions throughout the region.
