The Richmond/Hampton Roads Passenger Rail Project will investigate a program of rail improvements or new rail that would be necessary to accommodate frequent passenger trains through the Richmond/Hampton Roads study area. This study will evaluate potential routes for higher speed rail service in both the Richmond to Petersburg to South Hampton Roads Corridor along Route 460 and the existing Amtrak Corridor from Richmond to Williamsburg to Newport News along I-64. New passenger rail service in these locations could ultimately provide rail connections to the Southeast, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions as an extension of the Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor (SEHSR) currently being studied.
