The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $401,000 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to the Ohio Department of Transportation on June 5, 2025, for the installation of flashing lights and roadway gates at the Indiana and Ohio River Railroad grade crossing (DOT #525264X) located in Hamilton County, Ohio. The project, with a completion date of July 1, 2031, encompasses the complete installation of warning devices and all ancillary work necessary to ensure the equipment functions as designed, complies with Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards, and remains visible to roadway users.

This formula grant supports a critical railroad crossing safety improvement project that enhances public safety at a grade crossing intersection. The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance to states for highway-related infrastructure improvements, including safety enhancements such as grade crossing warning systems. The extended project timeline reflects the typical implementation period for transportation safety infrastructure projects of this nature, which may involve coordination with railroad operators, engineering design, permitting, and construction phases.
