The Federal Railroad Administration awarded the Wyoming Department of Transportation $27.777 million on October 1, 2025, under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements Program (CFDA 20.338) to complete preliminary engineering, environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act, final design, and construction to replace two fracture-critical rail-highway grade-separated crossings with new grade separations in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

The project creates a reliable, functional crossing that allows intermodal freight and public traffic to move seamlessly through the critical intersection of a main freight railroad and an interstate corridor. Work includes rail and multimodal safety and reliability improvements and ensures unencumbered intermodal freight movement and supply chain security. Beneficiaries include the traveling public, freight trucking carriers, and Union Pacific Railroad.

Period of performance extends from October 1, 2025, through March 31, 2032. Funding is obligated as reimbursement upon achievement of project milestones.

The objective of this project is to complete preliminary engineering, nepa, final design, and construction to replace two fracture critical rail-highway grade separated crossings with new grade separations. The project will create a reliable, functional crossing that allows inter-modal freight and the traveling public to move seamlessly through this critical intersection of a main freight railroad and interstate corridor. The project will provide rail and multi-modal safety and reliability improvements and will ensure unencumbered inter-modal freight movement and supply chain security. Beneficiaries of this project include the traveling public, freight trucks/carriers, and union pacific railroad.
