W IVY ST at huron & eastern railway in the city of BAY city, BAY county

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $315,583 to the Michigan Department of Transportation on June 24, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to install flashing-light signals and half-roadway gates at the Huron & Eastern Railway crossing located at W Ivy Street in Bay City, Bay County, Michigan. This formula grant represents a critical investment in transportation safety infrastructure designed to improve vehicular and pedestrian safety at the at-grade railway crossing.

The project deliverables focus on enhancing safety at the railway-roadway intersection through the installation of standard railroad crossing control devices. Flashing-light signals provide visual warning to drivers of approaching trains, while half-roadway gates restrict vehicle access to the crossing during train passage. These improvements align with the Highway Planning and Construction program's emphasis on safety enhancements and are typical of federally-funded projects administered by state departments of transportation to address identified transportation safety needs on public roads and at critical infrastructure intersections.
