The Intermodal Freight Connector Project calls for the extension of an existing turning notch to add up to five additional berths at the Port, the purchase of super post-Panamax container gantry cranes, the renovation of dock infrastructure (including a switchgear building), and state-of-the-art environmentally friendly bulkheads. These activities will complement the recent Florida East Coast Railway investment in a near-port Intermodal Container Transfer Facility, the Florida Department of Transportation Eller Drive Grade Separation Project, which separates truck and rail traffic serving Port Everglades’ Southport container complex, and the larger deepening and widening project, which will help the port to continue to accommodate post-Panamax cargo vessels, which call at the port today.
