What is next for the Pennsylvania high-speed maglev project?
Maglev’s route through Allegheny and Westmoreland counties is just the first step in what could potentially be an inter-state high-speed maglev transportation system. Future plans call for an extension of maglev’s guideway east through the mountains to Harrisburg, Pennsylvanias capitol, on to Philadelphia and potentially the northeast corridor of the state. The trip from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia would take less than two hours. There are also extension capabilities to Cleveland and West Virginia and to other destinations in the North Eastern corridor of the United States. All potential future extensions will need to be the subject of further maglev studies, federal approvals and future funding availability. Back To Project Status FAQ’s…
