"WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Gateway coalition today announced that it has been honored as 'Competitiveness Project of the Year' by the North American Strategic Infrastructure Leadership Forum, a leading infrastructure identification and development group.
The award recognizes the National Gateway as the 'project which contributes most to the [North American] region's capacity for global competitiveness.'
The National Gateway is an $842 million, multi-state public-private infrastructure initiative which will create a more efficient freight rail route between Mid-Atlantic ports and Midwestern markets. This is achieved by raising bridges, increasing tunnel clearances and building terminals along an existing rail corridor to support the movement of double-stacked containers on rail cars."
