The Federal Railroad Administration awarded the City of San Antonio $6 million on October 1, 2025, under the Railroad Crossing Elimination Program (CFDA 20.327) to perform preliminary engineering, environmental review, and final design activities for a grade separation project at the Rittiman Road and Union Pacific Rail Line intersection in San Antonio, Texas.

The City will deliver a project management plan, environmental documentation, preliminary engineering and final design documents, and a final performance report. The project will eliminate an at-grade crossing and construct a four-lane grade separation overpass with sidewalk over the Union Pacific Railroad Glidden Subdivision. The crossing currently experiences frequent blockages due to high train volume and rail operations at the nearby UPRR Kirby Yard, creating vehicular traffic delays and safety hazards. The grade separation is projected to prevent approximately 47 percent of crashes in the area.

Period of performance extends through February 28, 2029. Place of performance is San Antonio, Texas.

This project seeks to perform preliminary engineering, nepa and final design activities necessary to eliminate an at-grade crossing where rittiman road and union pacific's rail line intersect and to build a four-lane grade separation overpass with a sidewalk over the union pacific railroad glidden subdivision in SAN antonio, texas. The city of SAN antonio (recipient) will complete the following deliverables: a project management plan, final performance report, environmental documentation, preliminary engineering and final design documents. Project upgrades will eliminate issues with vehicular traffic encountering trains blocking the crossing multiple times per day due to high train volume and rail operations in the nearby uprr kirby yard. The grade separation project will also address travel delay concerns and prevent approximately 47% of the crashes in the area.
