Port Manatee’s newly expanded south gate complex, which offers enhanced movement of oversized cargo, is officially open. The $1.1 million project features new gates, guard kiosk, canopy and lighting, as well as reconfigured security fencing. Widened entry and exit lanes allow for the movement of extra-large project cargos, including massive liquefied natural gas heat exchangers, being manufactured at the Air Products Port Manatee facility across U.S. 41 from the port.
