Safety pre-scoping - highway-rail safety projects-lynchburg

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Virginia Department of Transportation $300,000 in formula grant funding on August 26, 2026, under the Railway-Highway Crossings Program (CFDA 20.285) to provide preliminary engineering for safety countermeasures at public at-grade highway-rail crossings throughout the Lynchburg District.

The recipient will deliver engineering services to support the design and development of safety improvements at multiple crossing locations across Virginia. The work spans a period of performance through November 30, 2031. This formula grant funds the pre-scoping phase, establishing the technical foundation for subsequent construction or implementation of hazard-reduction measures at designated crossings.
