New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/24/2022 -- Supply chain infrastructure has become a key focus in the past year and now a new project is going to improve the situation in the Southeast. Named the 'Alabama-USA Corridor,' the program is designed to improve the infrastructure that connects the Port of Mobile to Birmingham and then the entire Southeast. The focus on improving rail connections in supply chain infrastructure has become increasingly important, as the past 10 years have seen a swift uptick in business at the port. A $231 million investment will be required to bring the Alabama-USA Corridor to life and the first phase is likely to cost somewhere in the region of $71 million. Phase 1 will focus specifically on the rail connection to the McCalla Intramodal Facility near Birmingham and involve 12 specific track, signal and yard improvements. As the program develops it will link major economic development sites, including those at Little Canoe Creek and the Calvert area.
