Costs of road and rail infrastructure
There is some recent experience from Florida which is quite interesting - and quite telling.
The Tri-Rail system serves a swathe of the State of Florida, including three of its major airports. It runs from Miami through Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach.
Originally it was single tracked for much of its length: over the last few years a second track has been added, adding significant capacity. This cost $6.2m/km.
A recent road project in the State added a new lane. This cost $31m/km.
