Ports of Indiana has been awarded a $25 million federal \u201cBUILD\u201d grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to support a $32 million expansion of its Jeffersonville port. This grant is the largest federal award in Ports of Indiana\u2019s 65-year history.<\/p>\n
The BUILD program (Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development) is administered by USDOT to provide grants for surface transportation infrastructure projects with significant local or regional impact.\u202fThis week, USDOT awarded $1.73 billion in BUILD grants to 127 projects from 1,200 applications.<\/p>\n
The Jeffersonville grant will fund a redevelopment of an underutilized area along the Ohio River into a high-volume multimodal terminal. The project includes a new 300-ton crane system, a 6,500-square-foot dock, and a 22,000-square-foot warehouse designed to improve operational efficiency and expand heavy-lift and breakbulk capabilities.<\/p>\n
Once complete, the expansion will increase lift capacity by more than 800%, double barge-rail transloading capacity, and establish the port\u2019s first general cargo facility located outside the floodplain. The project is expected to be completed in 2028.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
