About this opportunity
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is soliciting applications for grant funding to support the reconstruction of the Slateford Rail Bridge over the former Lackawanna Cut-Off rail line. This congressionally directed opportunity falls under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program (CFDA 20.325), which funds projects designed to enhance the safety, efficiency, and reliability of intercity passenger and freight rail systems. Eligible applicants include states, public agencies, railroads, universities, nonprofits, and private entities operating in partnership with eligible organizations. The FRA will prioritize projects where the federal share represents 50 percent or less of total project costs, involve multiple funding sources demonstrating broad stakeholder participation, and maximize net benefits through a favorable benefit-cost analysis. Required application materials include a project narrative, statement of work, benefit-cost analysis, environmental compliance documentation, and completed SF forms (SF424, SF424C or SF424A, and SF424D or SF424B). The application deadline is April 24, 2026, with preapplication coordination required.
Under the CRISI program, recent awards have ranged from approximately $460,000 for preliminary engineering studies to over $291 million for comprehensive rail corridor improvements, with most awarded projects falling within the $5 million to $50 million range and typical performance periods spanning two to five years. The Slateford Rail Bridge reconstruction project will be performed in the location of the former Lackawanna Cut-Off rail line right-of-way. Grant recipients must retain project-related data, documents, reports, records, and supporting materials for three years following the award closeout period and comply with all requirements under 2 CFR Part 200 regarding uniform administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit standards.
Synopsis
Funding will support the reconstruction of the Slateford Rail Bridge over the existing right-of-way (ROW) of the former Lackawanna Cut-Off rail line.
