The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) awarded a contract to Northland/Cianbro, a joint venture based in Pittsfield, Maine, for the facility-wide modernization and expansion of the U.S. land port of entry at Alexandria Bay, N.Y.
Construction was expected to begin in June and the phased project is expected to be fully completed in July 2022. The approximately $260 million project will replace the existing port.
Phase I includes construction of a commercial inspection warehouse with inspection bays, commercial inspection lanes (with split-level booths for either commercial or non-commercial), impound lot and a portion of the elevated parking over the commercial side. Phase I also includes acquisition of the two remaining necessary parcels of land.
Phase II includes construction of a new main administration building, a new outbound inspection facility, a new veterinary services building, non-commercial inspection lanes, a new non-commercial secondary inspection plaza, new non-intrusive inspection buildings and employee and visitor parking areas.
