WASHINGTON, D. C. - The U.S. Department of Transportation on Monday awarded more than $570 million to 32 states for projects that will fix railroad crossings that block vehicle and pedestrian traffic, keep first-responders from reaching emergencies, and occasionally cause deadly accidents.

The Railroad Crossing Elimination (RCE) Grant Program money from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will be used to add grade separations, close at-grade crossings and improve existing at-grade crossings where train tracks and roads intersect, transportation department officials said.
