The City of Decatur, Illinois was awarded a $2,506,203 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program (CFDA #20.325). The objective of the grant is to close the existing Norfolk Southern Railroad grade crossing of Brush College Road and replace it with a grade-separated crossing to carry Brush College Road over the existing rail mainline tracks and Faries Parkway. This project will improve the safety and efficiency of the intersection for vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians by eliminating the at-grade crossing and creating a grade-separated crossing. The grant will fund construction engineering efforts for the grade separation project, which is expected to be completed by March 31, 2028. The key project beneficiaries are the City of Decatur, the Illinois Department of Transportation, and Norfolk Southern Railway.
