Project status
Kinder Morgan Terminals is leading Phase 1 of the proposed Project, which is focused on the completion of a Project Definition Report to confirm Project scope, budget, and decision on whether the Project warrants moving forward.
About the project
The proposed Philip Avenue Overpass Project is one of six key transportation infrastructure projects that have been identified to help sustainably accommodate and enhance the growth in international trade within the North Shore Trade Area (NSTA).
This area is a critical export gateway to overseas markets, and a substantial economic generator of employment in the marine, rail and trucking industries. Recently, the area has experienced significant growth and is forecast to continue to do so.
The proposed Philip Avenue Overpass Project will provide a new overpass above the rail tracks to minimize road/rail conflicts and make traffic flow in the area more continuous, and reduce idling time and air emissions.
The project will also eliminate the existing Pemberton Avenue at-grade rail crossing, which means that products can be shipped using longer trains, thereby reducing noise from rail car switching and shunting.
