The cost of light rail construction varies widely, largely depending on the amount of tunneling and elevated structures required. A survey of North American light rail projects shows that costs of most LRT systems range from $15 million to over $100 million per mile.t the other end of the scale, four systems (Baltimore, Maryland; Camden, New Jersey; Sacramento, California; and Salt Lake City, Utah) incurred construction costs of less than $20 million per mile. Over the US as a whole, excluding Seattle, new light rail construction costs average about $35 million per mile.
In the United States, the cost of recent projects has ranged from $20 million per mile for an one track extension of the existing St. Louis rail system to $50 million per mile for streetcars in the First Hill area of Seattle and connecting downtown Tucson to the University of Arizona campus.
