Atlantic Gateway (Virginia)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atlantic Gateway is a planned infrastructure improvement project in Virginia that will expand transportation routes leading into Washington, D.C. from Virginia. It includes road and rail components, and construction is planned to take place through the end of the 2010s and into the early 2020s.
The budget for the entire project is estimated at $1.4 billion, and is funded by a mix of federal, state, and private sources.[1] $710 million comes from the state's transportation budget, while rail operator CSX Transportation and toll road operator Transurban will jointly contribute $565 million and the federal government, through its FASTLANE program, issued a $165 million grant.[1]
