back to projects list

Project Description

Extending the platforms will better accommodate up to 8-car train consists. All doors will be able to open onto the platform for more efficient boarding and alighting with a reduction in passenger queuing within the train. The current design does not preclude a future third mainline track by the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation.


Project Purpose
