Skanska builds Long Bridge North in Washington D.C., USA, for USD 658M, about SEK 6.7 billion

The approximately 1.6-kilometer (approximately one-mile) rail link will replace the current two-track system and enhance the busy rail corridor from East Potomac Park to Washington, D.C.’s L’Enfant Interlocking with a series of linked, four-track modern rail bridges and replacing the aging two track system. The project’s refurbished eastern tracks – which currently serve freight and passenger traffic – will primarily serve CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) freight rail. The newly built western tracks will cater mainly to passenger services provided by the Commonwealth’s state-supported Amtrak Virginia service, Amtrak’s long distance service, and Virginia Railway Express (VRE).

Construction work will commence in July 2025 with expected completion in December 2030.
