Union Station Expansion Plans Scrapped | Washington DC News

The big Union Station expansion in D.C. is officially scrapped — the Trump administration has pulled the plug on the federally approved $8.8 billion plan. Instead, the Department of Transportation is launching a new public-private partnership to reimagine the station’s future, backed by $466 million for repairs and an extra $24 million to kickstart the effort. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the goal is to make D.C. safer and more beautiful, with infrastructure worthy of the nation’s capital — but what this new vision looks like, how much it’ll cost, and whether it can match the original capacity goals remain unclear.
