Closure and Consolidation Projects
The Railway-Highway Crossings (Section 130) Program funds the elimination of hazards at railway-highway crossings, including the closure and consolidation of crossings. Of the available categories, closures/consolidations is the top priority for the program. In order for a project to be eligible for the closure/consolidation category, it must meet the criteria laid out in Minnesota Rule 8830.2740.
Projects are solicited annually from local road authorities, railroads and MnDOT districts.
Criteria used in project selection for closures/consolidations
- Number of crossings closed
- Risk Factors
- Deficient Geometry
