Comment on the FRA and DDOT's Long Bridge expansion project DEIS study.

The Long Bridge is the railroad bridge which crosses the Potomac River and connects Virginia and DC. The bridge’s original alignment dates back to the 1800s and its current capacity is woefully inadequate for our modern transportation needs.

The DC Department of Transportation (DDOT) and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) have released their draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) which recommends the construction of a new two-track bridge while leaving the current two-track bridge in place.

If you support their recommendation, we are asking that you submit a public comment saying so.

Subject: I support the Long Bridge DEIS preferred alternative

Message:

I am writing to support the Long Bridge DEIS expansion project preferred alternative. The preferred alternative will double capacity over the bridge which will allow for an 83 percent increase in intercity passenger rail service, a 194 percent increase in commuter rail service, as well as improved reliability over the Potomac River. The preferred alternative will also be cheaper, and will be completed sooner than the other alternative. I voice my support and ask that the project move forward.
