Transloading facility creation in quincy, illinois

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $147,921.28 to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) on July 3, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support preliminary engineering services for a transloading facility expansion project in Quincy, Adams County, Illinois. The funding will be used to develop construction drawings and a bid package for extending an existing railroad track to create a transloading facility for the Mid-America Intermodal Authority Port District.

This formula grant represents targeted investment in multimodal transportation infrastructure that enhances intermodal cargo handling capabilities in Illinois. The preliminary engineering phase will establish the technical specifications and procurement documentation necessary to advance the transloading facility project to construction, supporting regional freight and logistics operations through improved rail-based cargo transfer capabilities.
