Hazel street RR grade separation

This $1,452,367 federal Formula Grant was awarded on October 21, 2024 by the Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The grant will fund a project by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to remove and replace the Mill and Yew Street railroad crossings with a separated railroad crossing at Hazel Street. The project will also revise street alignments, close or modify existing grade crossings, and improve intersections and streets.

The City of Kelso will serve as a sub-grantee on the project, receiving a sub-award of an undisclosed amount to support specific aspects of the infrastructure improvements, such as revising street alignments and enhancing pedestrian and bicycle facilities. This federal grant is part of the broader Highway Planning and Construction program, which provides financial assistance to state DOTs and local governments for a wide range of highway-related projects aimed at modernizing and maintaining the nation's transportation network.
