Federal Railroad Administrator Amit Bose Announces New Funding for Grade Crossing and Highway Safety Improvements in Fort Worth, Texas
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Administrator Amit Bose announced the award of over $17 million for a grade separation project on Bonds Ranch Road. Part of a highway corridor spanning the cities of Haslet, Fort Worth, and Saginaw, the new four-lane grade separation will allow vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians to avoid the Bonds Ranch Road rail crossing, which is blocked multiple times a day due to high train volume. The project was funded by FRA’s new Railroad Crossing Elimination (RCE) Program and will benefit safety, community connectivity, and supply chain fluidity in the State of Texas and across the country.
