River, Road, Rail & Runway Connections
River
Just 66 miles from the Pacific Ocean on the deep-draft Columbia River, the Port of Longview is the first full-service operating port with major transportation connections. Transit time from the Columbia River Lightship to the Port of Longview averages 6 hours.
The Columbia River is a strategic trade corridor for the nation and is the region's link to world markets. It is the second-largest grain exporting river channel in the world and the exit point for cargo originating from more than 40 states.
The Columbia River is maintained at a depth of 43 feet by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Today, newer and larger vessels traveling the shipping channel with a full cargo load require a deeper draft.
Road
Interstate 5 is the major highway connection to the Port of Longview. We are 120 miles from Seattle and 40 miles from Portland, Oregon.
Our congestion-free roadways enable cargo to move efficiently through Longview's industrial area to major north/south and west/east interstate routes.
Rail
From on-dock rail service to dedicated rail lines serving the Port, the Port of Longview is on the right track.
The 1.5-mile-long Industrial Rail Corridor allows trains bound for the Port to arrive without long waits or interrupting vehicular traffic. The Port of Longview's miles of track and switch engines make railcar transloading, ship-to rail and rail-to-ship options possible.
The Port of Longview is served by Class 1 railroads Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and Union Pacific.
