This Project Grant award from the Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program provides $5,000,000 to the City of Laredo, Texas to complete preliminary engineering, right-of-way and utility coordination, and environmental analysis activities for grade crossing improvements at 31 at-grade crossings along the Laredo Corridor, a vital gateway for commerce and trade between Mexico, the U.S., and Canada. The proposed improvements, developed in partnership with CPKC, include two grade separations, five crossing closures, nine crossing signal installations, roadway improvements such as medians, and 15 roadway-only improvements. These infrastructure enhancements will improve safety, efficiency, and mobility for multiple transportation modes including transit, freight, cars, and pedestrians along this critical cross-border trade route. The grant award has a performance period from December 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027.
