Project Summary: The project consists of replacing the Livingston Avenue Bridge, which spans the Hudson River between the cities of Albany and Rensselaer. The bridge was constructed in 1901–1903 on a substructure that dates to the 1860s and is nearing the end of its serviceable life. The project will completely replace the existing two-track Livingston Avenue Bridge with a new two-track movable bridge located parallel to, and approximately 50 feet south of, the existing bridge. The project also includes a direct connection from the current shared-use path to the Albany Skyway at the western terminus of the new bridge as well as construction of a portion of the proposed Rensselaer Riverfront MultiUse Trail. FRA issued the Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project on May 9, 2022, and the public comment period occurred between May 9 and June 15, 2022.

Project Summary: The project consists of construction of a 22.7-mile freight rail corridor from the Camp Hall Commerce Park in Berkeley County, South Carolina, traveling north and east to a connection with the CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) rail network near the Santee Cooper Cross Generating Station in Pineville, South Carolina. The purpose of the project is to construct and operate an industrial rail line that will connect an existing Class I rail line with the Camp Hall Commerce Park. The need for the rail line derives from development in the Camp Hall Commerce Park increasing the demand for rail service connecting the park with an existing Class I rail network, in a manner that is logistically feasible. The rail line will better serve the needs of future park tenants and industry for transportation, distribution, and logistics. In addition, the rail line will support infrastructure needs in South Carolina and Berkeley County and will help alleviate highway congestion involving large commercial trucks. The Surface Transportation Board’s Office of Environmental Analysis (OEA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) jointly issued the Draft EA on November 30, 2018, with FRA serving as a cooperating agency, and the public comment period occurred between November 30 and December 30, 2018. A Final EA was issued by OEA and USACE on April 30, 2019. FRA issued a FONSI on January 3, 2023. Project name and location: Atlanta to Charlotte Passenger Rail Corridor Investment Plan (PRCIP). Project Summary: The project consists of developing the Atlanta to Charlotte portion of the Southeast High Speed Rail (SEHSR) Corridor through the Atlanta to Charlotte Passenger Rail Corridor Investment Plan. The plan identifies the Greenfield Corridor as the route for further study and development. The Greenfield Corridor is a 274-mile route that connects Charlotte, NC (Charlotte Gateway Station) and Atlanta, GA (Hartsfield/Jackson Atlanta International Airport–H–JAIA) and generally follows a new dedicated alignment between the Charlotte airport and northeast Atlanta. The purpose of the PRCIP is to help determine future transportation investments of vital importance to all people who live, work, and travel in the Atlanta to Charlotte corridor. FRA issued the draft Tier I environmental impact statement (EIS) on September 20, 2019, and the public comment period occurred between PO 00000 Frm 00128 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 16521 September 20, 2019 and November 4, 2019. FRA issued a combined Final EIS and Record of Decision on June 30, 2021. Project name and location: Walk Bridge Replacement Project, Norwalk, Connecticut. Project Summary: The project consists of removing the existing railroad bridge structure and replacing it with two sideby-side 240-foot open-deck through truss vertical lift spans across the Norwalk River as well as other improvements within and outside the New Haven Line right-of-way (ROW) such as track and ballast replacement and construction of a new retaining wall. Each new bridge span would have separate mechanical and electrical equipment and controls so that each span can work independently of the other, or in unison as needed. Additionally, the Project involves improvements outside the railroad ROW in the vicinity of the existing bridge, including construction of a pedestrian/ bicycle trail connection to the Norwalk River Valley Trail’s Harbor Loop Trail in East Norwalk. In August 2016, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), prepared an EA for the project. FRA was a Cooperating Agency in the development of the EA.
