The Virginia Railway Express’s (VRE) Rolling Road Station in Burke, VA, which is along the Manassas Line connecting Washington, D.C., to Bristow, VA, originally consisted of a 380-foot-long platform that could only accommodate five-car sets for board and detraining. As a result, passengers on VRE’s standard eight-car sets needed to move to different cars to detrain at the station, adding commuting time and inconvenience.
To improve service and accessibility, VRE initiated a 290-foot extension of the platform. STV, as part of a larger task order contract with the agency, performed construction management services for platform improvements at the station.
Improvements at Rolling Road Station now accommodate eight-car trains, making travel more efficient and seamless.
