The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) awarded $2.015 million to Henrico County under the Railroad Crossing Elimination (RCE) Program (CFDA 20.327) on May 1, 2025, for the Hungary Road Grade Separation Project in Henrico County, Virginia. The grant funds a re-evaluation of National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) environmental clearance and complete revision of preliminary engineering design (30 percent design) for a proposed road overpass at Hungary Road. Upon completion by January 15, 2027, the project will construct a new road overpass to provide residents, businesses, and first responders with reliable vehicular access while improving safety and mobility for people and goods in the region.

This project aligns with the RCE Program's core objectives of eliminating highway-rail grade crossing conflicts and improving transportation safety and community connectivity. The funding supports the planning, environmental review, and design phases of an eligible grade separation project, which are foundational activities under the program prior to construction implementation. The award recognizes the project's potential to enhance emergency services access, improve regional mobility, and deliver economic and community benefits through the elimination of a problematic grade crossing.

The project will consist of a RE-evaluation of national environmental protection act (nepa) environmental clearance and complete revisions to the preliminary engineering (30 percent design) for the proposed future hungary road grade separation project (the project) at hungary road in henrico county, virginia. The future project will construct a new road overpass that will provide residents, businesses and first responders with reliable vehicular access, and improve the safety, and mobility of people and goods in virginia.
