The railroad crossing at WCR 17 and WCR 60 will be under construction in summer 2025 to create a smoother crossing and make it quiet zone compliant. The roadway on either side of the crossing will be milled and overlayed, and new railroad panels will be added. Entrance and exit gates will also be added.

The project received funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration’s Section 130 Hazard Elimination Fund. Section 130 funds will cover the roadway and rail improvements, as well as the entrance gates. The town is contributing additional funds for the exit gates to establish a quiet zone.

The project is intended to take place in conjunction with the 7th St. Bridge Replacement project.
