Virginia will receive $729 million in federal funding to finance the Long Bridge project

Virginia will receive $729 million in federal funding to finance the Long Bridge project, making possible a long-awaited two-track passenger rail bridge over the Potomac River between Arlington and D.C. The new bridge will double Amtrak’s capacity and dramatically increase VRE service to D.C. from Fredericksburg.

Construction is expected to be complete by 2030. Once open, the new bridge will allow for three additional Virginia Amtrak trains, a doubling of the current capacity on the line between D.C. and Richmond. The project could have an even more significant impact on VRE commuter trains coming into the city from Fredericksburg, increasing service by 75%, including new weekend and late night trains.

This money is for construction at the north border of the Potomac River all the way to 1st street tunnel. So that will provide 2 separate tracks to the Potomac River and whatever is built from south Potomac to ALX. Now if some money could be found for the actual 2nd bridge to speed up its construction ________???
