The City of Fayetteville, Arkansas was awarded a $720,000 Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Railroad Crossing Elimination (CFDA 20.327) program grant to identify feasible safety improvements to eight at-grade railroad crossings along a 14-mile stretch from Fayetteville to Springdale, Arkansas. The goal of this planning project is to determine whether the crossings, owned by the Arkansas and Missouri Railroad, should be separated, closed, or have other safety improvements implemented. The City of Fayetteville will deliver a preliminary purpose and need statement, stakeholder coordination plan, existing conditions report, alternatives analysis, and capital cost estimates as part of this effort, which will benefit the cities of Fayetteville and Springdale. The grant award period runs from April 1, 2024 to April 30, 2026.
