Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The Springfield Rail Improvement Project consists of a new grade separation at North Grand Avenue between 12th and 19th Streets over the NS and IM railroad tracks through a new overpass over three at-grade crossings.
The three at-grade crossings to be eliminated by the project are located immediately adjacent to Lanphier High School, Memorial Stadium, and Robin Roberts Stadium.
The constant train horn noise seriously disrupts activities at these locations and impairs student learning.
Benefits of the project include noise reduction, reduced delays, improved emergency services access, improved access to employment, vehicle and pedestrian safety, and improved access for persons with disabilities.
