Coos Bay port project moves to design phase, gains $205M in fed funds
Design work on a project that aims to turn the Port of Coos Bay into a major West Coast international container terminal will begin soon. The request for proposals seeks an engineering firm to answer whether the rail line between Coos Bay and Eugene can handle the additional traffic and study the project's potential impacts. The project could increase train traffic in Eugene dramatically. On Oct. 19, U.S. Rep. Val Hoyle and Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden announced the federal Department of Transportation had awarded another $204.8 million to the project. That grant, plus prior state and federal funding, brings the project to $460 million of its $2.3 billion goal.
