Project Summary The City of Longview is requesting $13,420,000 from the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) discretionary grant program to complete construction of its Industrial Way/Oregon Way (IWOW) project. IWOW is a transformative modernization of an economically crucial corridor that will elevate the Industrial Way (State Route (SR) 432) and Oregon Way (SR433) intersection, and eliminate three at-grade rail crossings by grade separating the roadway and rail lines. The project is an important component to the long-term economic vitality of Longview, Washington, Cowlitz County and rural southwest Washington by unlocking longstanding economic potential in a federally designated Opportunity Zone. Completion of IWOW will enhance freight mobility in a heavily congested freight route and provide better access to a regional employment center located on the banks of the Columbia River, an international trade corridor, that includes the Port of Longview and Weyerhaeuser, and many other industrial/manufacturing employers (Figure 1-1). Figure 1-1: IWOW project design 1 The $98.42 million IWOW project will address the following long-term objectives: ➢ Accommodate current and future freight truck and passenger vehicle movement through the intersection, across the region and between Oregon and Washington. ➢ Enable freight access to the Port of Longview’s Barlow Point property, an undeveloped 280- acre greenfield site zoned for manufacturing use with direct access to the Columbia River Channel, an international trade gateway. ➢ Improve travel reliability and safety for all vehicles. ➢ Improve emergency response access and timing. ➢ Create 1,070 construction jobs and facilitate approximately 3,335 new jobs in adjacent underutilized industrial areas, including two Opportunity Zones; and ➢ Better connect lower income communities and vulnerable populations to job centers by providing more transportation options via vehicular, transit and bike/pedestrian. 1.1 Project Components The IWOW intersection is four-legged with Industrial Way (SR432) as the east and west legs, Oregon Way as the north leg, and SR433 as the south leg. SR433 crosses the Columbia River and state line at the Lewis and Clark Bridge south of the intersection and terminates at US 30 in Rainier, Oregon. Additionally, there are three at-grade roadway/railroad crossings in the vicinity of the intersection (Figure 1-2): the Reynolds Lead (owned jointly by the BNSF Figure 1-2: At-grade rail crossings Railway and Union Pacific Railroad) crosses Industrial Way just west of the intersection (Cross ing A) and crosses Oregon Way just north of the intersection (Crossing B); the Port Lead crosses Industrial Way just east of the intersection (Crossing C). A future extension of the Port of Longview’s Industrial Rail Corridor (IRC) is proposed to cross SR433 south of the intersection (Crossing D) and connect to the Reynolds Lead. The specific alignment for the IRC extension has not yet been established, so a conceptual crossing alignment is shown in Figure 1-2. IWOW would construct a fully elevated signalized intersection southwest of the existing ][‘=== intersection and realign the Reynolds Lead rail line to pass under the new elevated roadway with all turning and through movements grade separated from the rail lines as seen in Figure 1-1. Access along Oregon Way and Industrial way would be re-established to the local businesses and homes along the corridor outside the extents of the elevated roadways. 2 The project also includes the following bicycle and pedestrian network improvements, all of which would be compliant with the standards of the United States Access Board Revised Draft Guidelines Accessible Public Rights-of-Way (2005) to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): ➢ Reuse or reconstruction of the existing Oregon Way sidewalk (west side) that runs along the west side of Oregon Way from Highlands Trail to the Oregon Way/Alabama Way intersection. ➢ New sidewalk on the new surface roadway that runs along the east side of Oregon Way from the new shared-use path to the Oregon Way/Alabama Way intersection. ➢ Reuse or reconstruction of the existing Industrial Way sidewalk (north side) on the north side of the new surface road along Industrial Way from the shared-use path to Columbia Boulevard. ➢ New sidewalk on south side of Industrial Way from the point where Industrial Way touches down on the surface to Columbia Boulevard. 1.2 Project Cost and Funding The total estimated project cost is $98,420,000. The City of Longview is seeking $13,420,000 in INFRA grant funding to match $85,000,000 provided by the Washington State Legislature through the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Connecting Washington funding program. In 2015, the Washington State Legislature passed Senate Bill 5987 to create the Connecting Washington program that allocates $16.1 billion on new highways, maintenance and repair of infrastructure, and investments in multimodal projects, and programs. The 16-year program, funded primarily by an 11.9-cent gas tax increase, was fully phased-in on July 1, 2016. The Washington State Legislature understood the importance of the IWOW project, and provided a significant down payment towards its completion. Unfortunately, since 2015, costs for the project have escalated, primarily due to findings that deeper foundations are necessary for the structure. A funding gap of $13,420,000 remains in order to complete and realize the transformative benefits of this project. To date, $1.77 million of the $85 million in state funds have been spent by WSDOT on the draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and associated environmental documents. 1.3 Existing Operational Deficiencies Industrial Way (SR432) and the intersecting Oregon Way (SR433) are designated as Highways of Statewide Significance by the Washington

  • Key Facts on the Oil Refinery, Crude-By-Rail & LPG Export
    Key Facts on the oil refinery, crude-by-rail & LPG export terminals at the Port of Longview Another crude-by-rail proposal on the Columbia—and an oil refinery and LPG export terminal, too! - Riverside Refining expanded its plans for the Port of Longview. In addition to a refinery, Riverside’s backers are also promoting the Washington Energy Storage Transfer (WEST) project: a crude-by-rail trans-loading terminal and an LPG export terminal. Riverside and WEST are both backed by a company called Waterside. - Riverside and WEST propose to bring explosive Bakken crude oil or heavy crude from the Alberta tar sands to Longview by rail –up to two unit trains each day-- and send tankers carrying crude oil and refined petroleum through the environmentally sensitive Columbia River estuary. Riverside plans to refine 30,000 barrels for crude per day at the Port of Longview, WA. - WEST proposes to bring one unit train of LPG per day (72,500 barrels per train) to the Port of Longview for export to international markets. - WEST, Riverside, and the Port of Longview, and officials in the Washington Governor’s office have been discussing the refinery for months behind closed doors. Crude-by-rail and oil refineries don’t belong in our communities, or on the Columbia. - Crude-by-rail is extremely dangerous. Even new-generation rail tank cars are only puncture resistant up to 12 miles per hour. - Oil refineries emit carcinogens and neurotoxins into the air we breathe. - Riverside Refining LLC’s proposed refinery and the WEST crude-by-rail and LPG export terminals would be less than a quarter mile from homes and commercial businesses in Longview.
