WASHINGTON (AP) -- Maryland will receive $22 million in federal funding for studies needed to begin replacing a bridge over the Susquehanna River, state officials announced Monday.
The money is part of about $2 billion in high-speed rail funding that has been redirected to projects in 15 states after Florida's governor canceled plans for high-speed train service in his state.
The 105-year-old bridge carries Amtrak and MARC trains. The money will be used for preliminary engineering and environmental studies for a new bridge across the river between Perryville and Havre de Grace, Gov. Martin O'Malley's administration said.
