Strategically located by land and by sea, the Port of Richmond is approximately nine miles from the Golden Gate on the east shore of San Francisco Bay and is easily accessible by a federally-maintained deep water channel, the Richmond Harbor Channel.
Richmond is abundantly served by the interstate highway system. Transcontinental Interstate 80 leads to Sacramento, Reno, and eastward. The Interstate 580 passes through the port area connecting Interstate 80 with the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, which leads to north-south US Highway 101. The Port is also served by two major transcontinental railroads, Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union pacific. Thus, whatever the destination or point of origin, cargo can readily be trucked and/or railed to and from the Port of Richmond.
