The Alabama Port Authority's Montgomery Intermodal Container Transfer Facility is on schedule for an early 2027 opening, with construction progressing as planned. The $100 million, 272-acre terminal aims to extend the Port of Mobile's container gateway inland, connecting central Alabama manufacturers, distributors, and exporters to Mobile through CSX rail service.
The site, spanning 272 acres, will handle up to 60,000 container units annually, equivalent to approximately 30,000 40-foot-equivalent containers, once fully operational. The facility, planned to operate five days a week, will feature over 25,000 feet of rail track and various support structures, including container storage, truck access, administration, maintenance buildings, and improved access and signaling near U.S. 31.
The project's environmental review was completed by the Federal Railroad Administration in October 2024, clearing the way for construction to commence.
