More money for trade corridor in Texas


The Port of Corpus Christi was awarded a grant by the Texas department of transportation (TxDOT) under the 2019-2020 port access programme for safety improvements to the Joe Fulton international trade corridor and Rincon Road leading to the Rincon industrial complex.

 

Developments in recent years along the Corpus Christi Ship Channel Inner Harbour, including additional rail infrastructure, necessitate a new frontage road south of the rail corridor that parallels the Joe Fulton corridor to maintain vehicle safety and mobility.

 

The Rincon industrial complex is one of the newest facilities targeting breakbulk cargo such as wind energy components, military cargo and steel pipe.

 

The Port of Corpus Christi has made significant capital investments in Rincon in the past two years. Additional congestion from the construction of the new harbour bridge has increased the traffic burden on Rincon Road. (mw)
