Amtrak, Delaware announce completion of third track project
Amtrak, Delaware announce completion of third track project
BY LIZ CAREY | DECEMBER 9, 2020
Amtrak, the Delaware Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Delaware Transit Corporation (DTC) announced Monday that they had completed the third track project on the Northeast Corridor.
The $71.2 million project increases capacity between Wilmington and Newark, Del., and included the installation of 1.5 miles of new, electrified main line third track between Ragan and Yard interlockings, as well as a bridge replacement and other improvements that will eliminate a previous two-track bottleneck.

The project was a shared benefit investment as part of an agreement between DTC and Amtrak signed in 2011. The funding for the project came from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) grants, as well as Amtrak funds.
