About the Project
The Atlantic Gateway project will significantly improve more than 50 miles of the I-95 corridor from Fredericksburg to the Pentagon with multi-modal travel options, including expanded passenger and freight rail and extended 95 Express Lanes to the north and south.
Key Benefits
- Transform travel conditions on one of the most congested corridors in the country, connecting people to jobs and stimulating economic growth
- Unlock critical bottlenecks, improving safety, reliability and capacity for freight, commuter and passenger rail service, both short and long distances
- Ease congestion and decrease travel time for commuters by providing them a reliable trip from Fredericksburg to the Pentagon and points in between
- Move more people with new travel choices throughout the corridor
Project Summary
- 14 miles of new rail track along CSX rail corridor, including approaches for a new Long Bridge over the Potomac River
- 95 Express Lanes extended seven miles to the north to the Pentagon and 10 miles to the south to Fredericksburg, improving access to the Pentagon and alleviating backups at the current southern terminus
- New southbound bridge on I-95 across the Rappahannock River
- Expanded
bus service in the corridor - 1,000 new commuter and 50 new truck parking spaces
- Technology upgrades for improved travel time and incident response
- Pavement for autonomous vehicle enhancement; this will provide the infrastructure to test and deploy driverless cars
- Ownership of the S-line, an abandoned rail corridor that runs from North Carolina to the Richmond area; the S-line is necessary for high-speed rail
