Harbor Sites
Madison Harbor Overview
Constructed in 2016, the Madison Harbor, located just south of Lock #27, is the Northernmost ice-free and lock-free port on the Mississippi River. With access to 6 of the Class-I railroads, and excellent highway access, this location provides faster, more efficient shipping and river transportation to and from numerous ports south of St. Louis on through to the Gulf of Mexico. Adjacent to the harbor lies two sites, both with connections to the harbor and ready for development.
24 Acre Rail-Served Site | For Lease: $950 acre/mo
E Street
Madison, IL 62060
This is the only site on property both served by rail and the new Madison Harbor directly. With access to six of the Class-I railroads through TRAA, 4 major interstates, and direct Mississippi River access, the transportation and logistics benefits of this location are unparalleled. The southern entrance of this site allows for both access to the Madison Harbor, as well as Route 3, without the impediment of rail crossings. In addition, port property roads do not have restrictions on weight limits, thus providing an opportunity for increased efficiency for last mile operations.Â

Madison, IL 62060
