DOT unveils plan to turn highways, rail lines into multi‑use utility arteries

The U. S. Department of Transportation has unveiled “America’s Great Corridors of Commerce,” a federal initiative designed to convert existing highway and railroad rights‑of‑way into shared corridors for electric transmission, fiber optic cables, water pipelines and other critical utilities. The voluntary program, run through DOT’s Build America Bureau, is intended to accelerate utility deployment, cut permitting timelines and create a new revenue stream to help repair roads, bridges, tunnels and rail lines along the same corridors, according to the department. Under the initiative, state departments of transportation and railroads could lease portions of land alongside roads, tracks or in shared utility tunnels to private “corridor managers” that would oversee the design, development, operation and maintenance of the added infrastructure.
