St. Louis County Midway Road rail-crossing planning

  1. Update 1 of 1LatestDay 3

    Midway Road’s rail waits have a planning budget—not an end date

    A hill, short traffic queues and freight delays make the case for changing two CN crossings. The county has planning money—but no chosen design or construction funding.

    Watch

    Govly

    • A driver heading north toward the Adolph railroad crossing can come over a hill with less room to see—and stop for—a line of waiting vehicles. From the other direction, a long southbound queue can reach back into the Highway 2 intersection. On this stretch of Midway Road, the problem is not simply how long a train takes to pass. It is where the waiting traffic has to go.
