Georgia Ports Expanding to Meet Demand
Written by Sandy Williams
Georgia Ports Authority announced Monday the approval of $42.27 million in funding for a rail and gate project that will significantly expand capacity at its Garden City Terminal in Savannah. The project is part of the GPA’s $128 million Mason Mega Rail Terminal and will increase the Port of Savannah’s on-dock rail capacity by 100 percent to one million containers per year. So far, GPA has allocated $90.7 million toward the project.
The existing Gate 8 at Garden City Terminal will be enlarged to absorb future growth and offer a better link to the Jimmy Deloach Parkway connecting to Interstate 95. The $13.2 million project will expand the terminal’s gate infrastructure by 12.5 percent for a total of 54 truck lanes.
