The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $327,297.78 to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) on August 5, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This formula grant funds the installation of flashing lights and half-roadway gates at the Indiana Northeastern Railroad crossing located in Camden Township, Hillsdale County, Michigan. The project represents a safety improvement initiative designed to enhance traffic safety at the at-grade railroad crossing by providing motorists with enhanced warning systems and traffic control devices.

The Highway Planning and Construction program, authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, supports a broad range of highway and transportation infrastructure improvements across states, with eligible activities including safety enhancements such as this railroad crossing upgrade. As a state department of transportation, MDOT is a primary recipient of federal highway funds distributed through statutory formula allocations and serves as the administrator for highway safety projects within Michigan. The completion of safety infrastructure improvements at this railroad crossing aligns with the program's emphasis on reducing transportation-related hazards and enhancing public safety on Michigan's transportation network.
