Amtrak moves ahead with planning for two Maryland bridge projects. David Lassen Fri, October 9, 2026 at 4:03 PM PDT EDGEWOOD, Md. - Amtrak has selected infrastructure and architectural design firm HNTB to provide architectural and engineering services for two bridge replacement projects in Maryland, the passenger operator has announced. The Gunpowder River Bridge and Bush River Bridge are about 7.5 miles apart on the Northeast Corridor between Chase and Aberdeen, Md. Each carries more than 100 Amtrak, MARC, and Norfolk Southern trains per day. Both date to 1913. Amtrak says they are approaching the end of their useful lives, require frequent maintenance, and limit train speeds to 125 mph. The movable Bush River Bridge also requires a 20-person crew to be opened for marine traffic during summer weekends. Its replacement will be a fixed-span structure. The replacement bridges will allow speeds up to 145 mph on the Gunpowder River Bridge and 160 mph on the Bush River Bridge; the replacement projects also include track, signal, and electric traction infrastructure improvements over a 10-mile segment of the NEC. "These projects are two important examples of Amtraks long-term vision to modernize the Northeast Corridor's century-old tunnels, bridges, and more," Laura Mason, Amtrak executive vice president, capital delivery, said in a press release. Plans call for preliminary engineering to be completed by 2029. The engineering phase is being supported by a Federal Railroad Administration grant, along with contributions from Amtrak and the Maryland Transit Administration. Funding has not yet been allocated for final design and construction. "These projects represent an important opportunity to continue our longstanding partnership with Amtrak on infrastructure that is essential to the Northeast Corridor," Christian Brown, HNTB project manager, said in a press release. "Our team looks forward to collaborating to develop solutions that align with Amtrak's operational goals while supporting reliable service throughout the life of the project."
