City of Owosso issued the following announcement on Dec 22.
MDOT has announced Owosso is one of the recipients of the sixth annual Local Grade Crossing Surface Program. The grant, applied for by the city’s engineering office, will fund work on the S. Cedar Street railroad crossing north of Milwaukee St owned by Huron & Eastern Railway. The total cost of the improvements is estimated at $181,653 with MDOT paying 60% and the railroad paying the remaining 40%.
"With approximately 4,800 public railroad crossing surfaces in Michigan, they can be very expensive to maintain or upgrade," said Peter Anastor, MDOT Office of Rail director. "In cooperation with local road agencies, this program can financially assist railroad companies in repairing their crossings, which will improve safety and provide smoother surfaces for road users."
