The annual five-year Crossing Safety Improvement Program includes $3.2 million for Galesburg to eliminate a crossing, upgrade protections at nine crossings, and improve multiple roadway approaches to prevent vehicles from getting stuck on tracks.
The Illinois Commerce Commission approved its annual program for FY 2024-2028 to implement highway-rail safety projects at local roads across the state. Over $476 million dollars from the Grade Crossing Protection Fund and Rebuild Illinois will help communities and railroads pay for much-needed improvements at 424 crossing locations.
The five-year plan proposes GCPF dollars to help cover the cost of 34 new bridge projects, 365 new grade crossing projects, and 15 low-cost emergency or experimental improvements at over 400 crossing locations.
