The state of Virginia, Amtrak, Class 1 railway CSX and Virginia Railway Express (VRE) have finalised agreements for a $US 3.7bn initiative to improve passenger and freight rail capacity and relieve road congestion in the state.
The “Transforming Rail in Virginia” initiative, unveiled by Virginia governor, Mr Ralph Northam, in December 2019, will “expand Amtrak and VRE rail services, create a pathway for the separation of freight and passenger rail in Virginia, and preserve future rail corridors.”
It covers:
-construction of a $US 1.9bn double-track dedicated passenger rail bridge over the Potomac River. The state will own the bridge, which will be built adjacent to the existing CSX-owned-and-operated Long Bridge, the only freight and passenger rail bridge connecting Virginia and Washington, DC.
