The state has awarded a $27.4 million contract for the construction of an intermodal facility in West Virginia that will be part of the Heartland Corridor.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and state Transportation Secretary Paul Mattox announced Thursday the winning bid went to Mountaineer Contractors Inc. of Kingwood.
The rail-truck facility will be located in Prichard, Wayne County.
The three lowest bidders came in under the state's estimated cost of $30 million to $31 million.
The Heartland Corridor project is designed to move freight containers more efficiently between Columbus, Ohio, and the port in Norfolk, Va. Twenty-eight railroad tunnels along the corridor have been raised to allow trains to carry double-stack containers.
The facility is expected to be operational by 2014
