Pa., CSX to improve 16 bridge clearances
Pennsylvania Gov. Edward G. Rendell and executives from CSX said $32 million would be spent on improvements to allow double-stack trains to pass beneath 16 bridges in Southeast Pennsylvania.
“In addition to supporting hundreds of jobs, the project will shave five hours off of transit time, which will improve efficiency, ease highway congestion, and improve our rail connection to the Midwest,” said Rendell during a press conference held Monday to mark the start of the project.
The state has committed $10 million to the project. An additional $10 million in federal funding complements CSX’s $12 million investment.
