Venice, IL

Our Venice, IL river terminal was built from a Greenfield Project in 2002. This facility has seventy-eight (78) acres with ½ mile of riverfront. It is located at Mile 182.9 on the Upper Mississippi River, 3 miles north of the Gateway Arch. Beelman built this facility from the ground up. This facility was designed for high productivity with large-bulk quantities. We wanted to design a facility that would handle a high volume of truck-to-barge and barge-to-truck transportation. We achieved our goal with this facility.

The most recent addition to our Venice terminal is our bulk storage facility.
