The Old Dominion University (ODU) maglev was a failed public transit maglev system for the campus, developed in 2001.[1] It was developed in partnership with the company American Maglev Technology (AMT) from Georgia and with funding coming from Dominion Virginia Power, Lockheed Martin, and the state.[2] The track spanned 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) from Powhatan Avenue to 46th Street in Norfolk, Virginia.[3] ODU claimed it would have been the first of its kind in America.[4] The guideway served as an important landmark for students.[5] The system has been completely torn down, with the only part remaining being a section of the concrete guideway that spans overtop Hampton Boulevard.[6][5]
