Central ST at conrail in the city of detroit, wayne county

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $197,007.80 to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) on May 8, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to install gates creating a four-quadrant environment at the Central Street Conrail crossing in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan. This infrastructure improvement project addresses transportation safety at a critical rail-highway grade crossing by implementing protective gating systems designed to manage vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow and enhance safety protocols at the crossing.

The award is structured as a Formula Grant, reflecting MDOT's established role as a principal recipient of Federal Highway Administration funding for statewide transportation infrastructure projects. As a state-administered program, the funding supports MDOT's ongoing capacity to execute highway safety and infrastructure improvements across Michigan, with this specific project contributing to the broader federal-aid highway program objective of enhancing safety at public road facilities.
