Groundbreaking Ceremony for Montgomery Intermodal Container Transfer Facility
MONTGOMERY, AL – The Alabama Port Authority, in partnership with CSX, is pleased to announce the groundbreaking for the Montgomery Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF). This state-of-the-art facility will provide seamless rail and truck connectivity between central Alabama and the Port of Mobile, enhancing freight mobility and stimulating economic growth throughout the region.
The project is funded through federal appropriations secured by former Senator Richard Shelby. Since the Port announced the project in 2022, the area surrounding the facility has attracted over $3 billion in economic development investments from private companies. Once complete, the Montgomery ICTF will look similar to the Mobile ICTF. For additional details on the Montgomery facility, click here.
