The Maine Port Authority and Maine Department of Transportation are investing $3.2 million to upgrade Portland's International Marine Terminal. This $3.2-million Maritime Administration (Marad) Port Infrastructure Development Program, backed by matching funds from MaineDOT, aims to modernize Portland's container yard, refrigerated-container storage, and terminal access systems.
The project, which began on August 17, will see the reconstruction of full-depth pavement, improved stormwater drainage, enhanced safety and security measures, and the installation of new bi-fold speed gates at Gate 1. The upgrades will help establish a more connected, electrically supported refrigerated logistics platform, enabling seamless ship-to-yard, yard-to-cold store, and onward rail or truck transportation depending on the shipper's network. The project is expected to be completed by October.
