Leeland Road Station Improvements

back to projects list

Project Description

The improvements 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 as part of the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation's DC2RVA planning study.

Project Purpose

The purpose of this project is to provide improved operational flexibility, capacity and reduce dwell times. Proposed and planned future work at this location are consistent with these VRE goals
