The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a $3,000,000 National Infrastructure Investments (CFDA 20.933) "RAISE" grant to the Puerto Rico Ports Authority on April 4, 2024. This Project Grant will fund a feasibility study, environmental risk review, and community involvement program for improvements to Avenue C, the only access roadway serving the Port of San Juan's Eastern Eight Wharves. The study will evaluate alternatives to rehabilitate the roadway and address water distribution, fire suppression, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, fencing, illumination, signage, and active transportation needs for the critical port access infrastructure. Key deliverables include conceptual designs, environmental analysis, and a community outreach program to engage stakeholders such as the local trucking union and terminal operators. This planning project aims to prepare for the eventual reconstruction of Avenue C to support current and future cargo operations at the Puerto Nuevo port facilities.
