Description
Description | The Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA) has awarded a $414 million contract to a joint venture of FlatironDragados and Herzog to build the Franconia-Springfield rail bypass. The project involves constructing a 0.6-mile-long flyover bridge to elevate passenger tracks over freight tracks, eliminating at-grade conflicts and increasing capacity and safety in one of the most congested parts of Virginia's rail network. The bypass will allow passenger trains to cross over freight tracks without stopping, addressing a bottleneck caused by the current track layout. |
