LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced recipients for the 10th annual Local Grade Crossing Surface Program.
According to the release, 32 projects were selected for annual grade crossing surface repair and improvement grants. The entire list of 2026 local grade crossing surface program projects is below.
Some of the work among the projects include installing track and making minor asphalt repairs. According to MDOT, the program offers 60% funding for projects. The remaining 40% is left to the operating railroads. The repair work is performed by the railroad and any of its contractors, says MDOT.
