Tacoma,WASH,USA -eTrucker, by Lanier Norville -21 July 2009: -- Port of Tacoma (Wash.) commissioners on Thursday, July 16, approved a $21.8 million contract to build the final piece of the Lincoln Avenue Grade Separation, a freight transportation project that includes an overpass to carry trucks and other vehicles over busy rail lines in the Tacoma Tideflats area...

According to the port, truck queues at the current at-grade crossing can last up to 45 minutes behind trains serving its two main intermodal yards... The port says it has completed three surface streets and relocated utilities to support the overall project. The final piece, the overpass itself, remained unfunded until the port received $15.4 million in March from American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds..
