Long Beach has contributed to theAlameda Corridor project to increase the capacity of the rail lines, roads, and highwaysconnecting the port to the <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> rail hub. The project, completed in 2002, created a20 mile (32 km) long, 33 ft (10 m) deep trench in order to eliminate 200 grade crossingsand cost about US$2.4 billion.Long Beach is the southern terminus for the <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> Metro Blue Line light railcorridor.
