The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) and the Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Transit Administration (MDOT MTA) last week opened a public comment period to gather input on proposed multimodal improvements in the Interstate-495 American Legion Bridge corridor across the Potomac River.
The comment period is part of a study the DRPT and MDOT MTA jointly managed and funded to determine and prioritize transit options — including rail — and transportation demand management strategies that address bi-state travel across the American Legion Bridge.
The study identifies current and future multimodal solutions aimed at reducing congestion, improving trip reliability and regional connections, and enhancing existing and planned multimodal mobility and connectivity in the corridor, DRPT officials said in a press release.
On Jan. 12, 2021, the DRPT will host a virtual public meeting to answer questions and accept live public comment.
The public comment period will be accepted through Feb. 1, 2021.
