Proposed Grade Separated Crossings
TxDOT may allow a grade-separated crossing if the private
industry or railroad company desiring the crossing agrees to finance
and construct it. The district, in conjunction with the Design Division (DES)
and the
Rail Division (RRD
), determines the
need for a grade separation based on the following factors
:- Projected AADT.
- Volume, type, and time of train movements.
- Location of proposed crossing.
- Safety of the traveling public.
- Other pertinent considerations.
