Crawfordsville rail crossing project selected for $35.3 million in federal funding
Crawfordsville was selected for up to $35,300,800 in federal funding to design and build a Market Street overpass. U.S. Sen. Jim Banks’s office listed the award on Oct. 30. The proposed bridge would carry traffic over the existing freight tracks and eliminate the street-level crossing.

Market Street carries U.S. 136 and Indiana 32 and 47 through Crawfordsville. The city says stopped trains can force truck traffic onto streets with limited room. The design and construction award follows an earlier federal planning grant. The Oct. 30 announcement gave no construction start date.
Correction: An earlier version misstated the announcement date. The award was publicly listed on Oct. 30.
