Maryland – Gunpowder River Bridge Replacement Program (Up to $30,000,000)
The proposed project includes project development activities to replace the 110-year-old, two-track Gunpowder River Bridge near Chase, MD, with a new four-track structure. In addition to replacing the existing structure, the project will replace or upgrade associated signals, interlockings, and electric traction power infrastructure. The project benefits Amtrak’s intercity services and Maryland Area Regional Commuter Penn Line service, as well as freight operations. As matching funds, Amtrak will provide $5,920,000 and Maryland will provide $1,580,000.
Consistent with the Inventory and NOFO, this Major Capital Project was Highly Rated and is therefore eligible for a Letter of Intent. Following selection, FRA intends to issue a Letter of Intent to the recipient for up to $1,020,800,000 toward final design and construction of this project. The Letter of Intent announces FRA’s intention to obligate an amount to the project from future available funding following satisfactory completion of project development lifecycle stages and a subsequent application and selection under a future FSP-NEC Program NOFO.
