Amtrak’s West Baltimore tunnel project was short-staffed, structure underplanned, audit says

Amtrak’s Frederick Douglass Tunnel project in West Baltimore faced delays due to a short-staffed team and had an ineffective management structure, an audit released Tuesday found. The issues with the $6 billion infrastructure project, in which Amtrak is replacing the 151-year-old Baltimore and Potomac Tunnel, are being resolved as Amtrak develops a structure, the federal rail corporation’s Office of the Inspector General found.
