The project includes installation of upgraded warning devices and ancillary work necessary to ensure the devices function as designed, comply with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards, and provide adequate visibility to roadway users.

The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance to state departments of transportation for highway-related infrastructure projects, including safety enhancements such as grade crossing safety improvements. This project supports the program's objective of improving transportation safety at critical infrastructure points where highways intersect with railroad operations, reducing accident risk and enhancing public safety at the grade crossing.
