Railroad crossing improvements for the installation of cantilever with signals, mast mounted signals with bells and gates, signs, markings and legends

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Alabama Department of Transportation $597,325.80 on August 13, 2026, under the Railway-Highway Crossings Program (CFDA 20.285) to fund railroad crossing improvements at Woodland Avenue and NS Railroad in Alabama (DOT No. 727836F).

The project delivers installation of a cantilever with signals, mast-mounted signals with bells and gates, signs, markings, and legends at the crossing. Work is performed in Alabama with a period of performance through August 31, 2030. This is a formula grant, awarded to Alabama Department of Transportation's Office Engineer Division, which serves as the state's primary recipient for federal highway infrastructure grants. The Railway-Highway Crossings Program funds projects that significantly reduce or eliminate hazards at public railway-highway grade crossings.
