Alabama Port Authority and CSX Railroad officially broke ground Thursday on a new inland port in Montgomery, a project designed to speed up freight movement and support local businesses.

The Montgomery Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) will give central Alabama faster access to the Port of Mobile, making it easier for companies to move products in and out of the region.

“This project is a significant step forward in advancing Alabama’s supply chain connectivity and economic growth,” said Christina Bottomley, CSX Vice President of Business Development & Real Estate. “This inland port will transform how freight is moved across the state — shifting more goods from congested highways onto the sustainable, efficient rail network that CSX operates.”
