Railroad crossing improvements on haltom road and CR 212

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $4.14 million to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on September 15, 2025, for railroad crossing improvements on Haltom Road and County Road 212. This formula grant, authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, funds safety enhancements at two railroad grade crossings: one at Haltom Road at TRE Rail Crossing and a second at CR 212 (DOT 743350U, MP 908.000) under Section 130 of the Railroad Grade Crossing Program. The rail and signal work components will be executed by the railroad operator while TxDOT manages the overall project administration and coordination.

The project carries an ultimate completion date of September 21, 2033, reflecting the multi-year infrastructure development timeline typical of complex transportation safety initiatives. As a state-administered program, the Highway Planning and Construction funding is distributed through statutory formula allocations to state transportation agencies, which in this case enables TxDOT to advance critical safety improvements at railroad-highway grade crossings in Texas.
