US Rail Construction Costs

Another data point: Ottawa&#x27;s light rail project ([1]), at roughly $CAD200M&#x2F;km.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Confederation_Line" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Confederation_Line</a>

I don&#x27;t know about the US, but the UK construction industry is unbelievably slow and bureaucratic compared to other European countries in general.
