Norfolk southern RR @ mondell, taylors landing and tommytown roads

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $1,904,378.43 to the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration on September 15, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to reconstruct railroad crossings at Mondell, Taylors Landing, and Tommytown Roads in Norfolk Southern's service area within Maryland. The project scope includes installation of new flashing light signals, roadway gates, audible bells, updated circuitry and software systems, and replacement of an existing bungalow structure at the crossing locations. Work is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2028.

This formula grant supports critical safety infrastructure improvements at active railroad crossings, which represents a priority eligible activity under the Highway Planning and Construction program. The Maryland Department of Transportation, as the state highway administration agency, has substantial capacity executing federally-funded transportation infrastructure projects and will serve as the project administrator for this crossing reconstruction initiative.
