Over the next decade, the Port of Long Beach plans to invest more than $3.2 billion in capital projects that drive efficiency and make cargo operations more sustainable. The 10-year program calls for improvements to rail, terminals, roadways, waterways, and safety and security. Also included are infrastructure projects that support the use of zero-emissions equipment.
More than $1.28 billion, about 40% of the total, is expected to go toward the Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility. The facility is the centerpiece of all the improvements the Port has made to its rail network to date, and its goods movement and environmental benefits will reach across the San Pedro Bay ports complex and beyond. Construction began in 2024 and is due to be completed in 2032.
More than $700 million, about 22% of the total, is anticipated for sewer, street, water and stormwater projects. Improvements to waterfront infrastructure are expected to total more than $476 million, about 15% of the overall program. While sustainability is a core element of all capital projects, the Port plans to spend more than $220 million on specific ZE infrastructure projects that support its goal of transitioning all cargo handling equipment to ZE models by 2030.
The spending plan covers fiscal years 2026 through 2035. All infrastructure projects are subject to approval by the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners.
