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.
Then divide by 2000 [man-hrs per year] to get man-yrs/mile). In 1898 in Massachusetts, it cost an average of $5700/mile for 16 ft wide macadamized road. With labor running at about $0.10/hr that's 28.5 man-yrs per mile. In 1908 (an average over about 20 states) it cost about $8870/mile for PAVED road.Converted to man-yrs/mile, that's about 40.3. In Clark County Pennsylvania in 2002 it cost about $303,000/mile to replace the underlayment in macadamized roads (put in better base rock).hen divide by 2000 [man-hrs per year] to get man-yrs/mile).
