Georgia Ports Authority breaks ground on Mason Mega Rail Terminal
GPA estimates that the new intermodal terminal will take more than 200,000 trucks off the road annually.
The Georgia Ports Authority (GPA), Savannah, Ga., broke ground on its $126.7 million Mason Mega Rail Terminal. The expansion will increase the Port of Savannah's rail lift capacity to 1 million containers per year, and open new markets spanning an arc of cities from Memphis to St. Louis, Chicago to Cincinnati.
The Mega Rail groundbreaking is the latest in a series of Gov. Nathan Deal's signature projects designed to make Georgia the transportation and logistics hub of North America, which include the announcement of 50% completion of the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project, a new inland terminal in Northwest Georgia and a $10 billion statewide transportation improvement plan.
