The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Mississippi Department of Transportation (M DOT) $317,043 through the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on July 16, 2025, to fund preliminary engineering and construction services for railroad crossing safety improvements at Clark Avenue in Pass Christian, Harrison County, Mississippi. The project specifically addresses safety enhancements at a CSX railroad crossing designated as DOT#340 280S through the installation of signals and gates, which represents a standard highway safety activity eligible for funding under the federal-aid highway program.

This award supports M DOT's ongoing portfolio of transportation infrastructure safety improvements across Mississippi, which the agency administers in coordination with FHWA oversight. The railroad crossing enhancement project aligns with the program's emphasis on safety improvements to public transportation infrastructure and reflects the type of localized safety initiative typically selected by state transportation departments in cooperation with local officials under the Highway Planning and Construction program's statutory formula allocation framework.
