Track construction to cause delays on VRE line

From May 11 to May 29, CSX Transportation will be performing railroad track and switch upgrade on Virginia Railway Express’ (VRE) Fredericksburg Line.

The work will be completed just south of the Fredericksburg station, said a release.

According to a release, the project is being done to improve the speed and reliability of the trains, as well as decreasing current delays when trains are switching between the VRE’s four tracks.

This project is part of a larger initiative to create a new third track that runs from Washington, D.C. to Richmond.

VRE riders could see delays between 10 to 45 minutes during the construction, and it will impact both northbound and southbound trains.
