The Virginia Railway Express (VRE) Operations Board last week announced it agreed to consider making a financial contribution to a second rail crossing over the Potomac River.
Preliminary discussions between VRE and Virginia’s Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) have identified the possibility of debt issuance and pay-as-you-go contributions to help fund the $1.9 billion bridge, VRE officials said in a press release.
