As part of New York State’s initiative to expand the economic reach of port activity into Central New York, the Syracuse Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) Improvements Project modernized CSX’s intermodal yard at 600 Fremont Road in Syracuse. Spanning 3.5 linear miles across the Village of East Syracuse, Town of DeWitt, and Town of Manlius, this inland port was identified by NYSDOT as a key hub connecting Central New York to global markets via the Port Authority of NY/NJ and CSX’s broader intermodal network.

Our firm served as the Owner’s Representative, providing construction engineering and inspection (CEI) services for the $19 million project. This work included field oversight and coordination of key improvements, such as a new processing area, a reconfigured entrance gate, and advanced automation systems to streamline container traffic. The result is a modern, high-capacity terminal that enhances CSX’s freight operations.
