Southern California International Gateway (SCIG) Update
SCIG is to be located between the Terminal Island Freeway, Sepulveda Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway in a heavily industrialized area with direct access to the Alameda Corridor. SCIG will allow cargo to be loaded onto rail lines much closer to the port complex, traveling less than a mile by rail through a highly industrialized area to the Alameda Corridor. This would help accommodate port growth, while eliminating millions of truck miles annually from the 710 freeway.
