US 90 at Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) - Liberty County
The TxDOT Beaumont District is proposing to build an overpass bridge over the existing UPRR and eliminate the at-grade crossing in the city of Dayton, located in Liberty County, Texas.
Proposed benefits
The purpose of the proposed project is to enhance safety and improve mobility by eliminating the at-grade crossing to reduce travel delays due to the interaction of trains and vehicles at the US 90/UPRR intersection.
Proposed improvements
The approximately one-mile project includes:
- Removing the at-grade crossing
- Building an overpass bridge over the existing UPRR
- Adding U-turns to maintain access
- Adding safety lighting
The existing CR 605 (Waco St) at UPRR crossing would be eliminated. CR 605 (Waco St) would no longer have connection to US 90.
No right of way or displacements are anticipated. The project will take place within the existing right of way ranging from 128 to 131-feet wide on US 90.
