The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) awarded a $2,121,215,100 Project Grant under the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail program (CFDA 20.326) to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) for the Susquehanna River Bridge (SRB) Replacement Project. The project involves final design and construction to replace the current two-track bridge with two new fixed, two-track bridges, expanding capacity, increasing reliability, and providing resiliency for passenger and freight rail service across the Susquehanna River between Havre de Grace and Perryville, Maryland. The new bridges will enable higher operating speeds up to 160 mph on the east bridge and 125 mph on the west bridge, reducing travel times for thousands of daily passengers along the Northeast Corridor. The project is expected to be completed by April 30, 2037, improving the state of good repair and meeting future growth for intercity passenger and commuter rail services using the crossing.
