The $2 billion rail project between D.C., Virginia is on track to double capacity over the Potomac River by 2030.
, as well as increases in freight transportation over decades, officials said. The expansion will allow Virginia to significantly boost Amtrak and VRE commuter services while separating passenger and freight trains, which officials say will improve service reliability.
Amtrak runs eight state-funded round trips daily from Washington. Plans call for more intercity and commuter service in 2026, after the fourth track in Alexandria is completed, with more trains in 2030 following the expansion of Long Bridge. For more than a century, the Long Bridge has carried freight and passenger trains across the Potomac River between Crystal City and the District’s Southwest Waterfront. The bridge’s two-track configuration creates a bottleneck as trains funnel from three tracks to two, slowing the movement of freight and passengers.As the NCPC reviewed the preliminary design this month, planners lauded the design of the bridge.
