The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration awarded a $3,332,000 Formula Grant under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) on July 11, 2023. This grant will fund work by the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) on the Railway-Highway Crossings (Section 130) Program to address hazard elimination at the UPRR railroad crossing on High Street in Oakland, Alameda County, California.

As a sub-awardee, UPRR will provide specialized railroad services, including relocating utility lines, upgrading crossing signals and gates, and performing other necessary work to improve safety at the intersection of High Street and the UPRR tracks. This project is part of Caltrans' administration of federal transportation grants to state agencies, counties, and municipalities to construct and upgrade highways, bridges, trails, sidewalks, and other infrastructure across California.
