Railroad-DOT Mitigation Strategies (R16)March 23rd, 2016
Resurfacing projects are among the most common and routine types of projects regularly conducted by highway agencies. When resurfacing projects cross a railway, the construction activities need to be coordinated with the railroad so that a smooth transition results between the roadway surface and the railway. Generally, highway agencies and their contractors are not permitted by railroad labor agreements to conduct work on railroad rights-of-way. Therefore, the work on the crossing itself needs to be coordinated with the railroad’s forces. The highway agencies and railroads often share the cost of the crossing improvement, or at least coordinate the efforts to minimize disruption to traffic and to economize on their respective efforts.
