The City of Powder Springs received a $1.0 million Project Grant from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) under the Railroad Crossing Elimination program (CFDA 20.327) awarded on May 1, 2025, with a completion date of January 31, 2027. This Track 1 planning proposal, undertaken in partnership with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and Norfolk Southern Railway, will deliver conceptual engineering and preliminary environmental assessment for the potential closure of three highway-rail grade crossings in Cobb County, Georgia: Angham Road (719820N), Finch Road (719821V), and Huddleston Drive (719822C).

The project will engage stakeholders and citizens of Powder Springs and surrounding areas to consolidate and eliminate these grade crossings, with the dual objectives of enhancing motorist and pedestrian safety and mobility while improving regional freight rail network efficiency. Deliverables will include comprehensive planning documents, conceptual engineering designs, and preliminary environmental review findings to inform potential future construction phases of grade separation or crossing closure activities.
