Construction is due to begin later this year. Design work is 100% complete and the project has been approved by both the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. Construction management for the project will be undertaken by Aecom. Total cost of the project is $US 1.3bn, funded mainly by a $US 826.6m grant made by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The remainder is being provided by Amtrak and the State of Connecticut.
