Benefits
Daily, 26,800 vehicles pass through the crossing. This project will reduce roadway congestion and improve safety at this location. The grade crossing separation will eliminate delay to over 3,700 vehicles daily, resulting in alleviation of almost 22,500 annual motorist hours of delay. It will also eliminate the potential for collisions between vehicles and trains.
Scope of Work
The project will consider eliminating the at-grade crossing at 1st Avenue by two Union Pacific tracks. This will be accomplished by creating either an overpass or underpass for vehicles.
