railroad crossings

A new overpass at Sunnyside Ave. opened Monday in Elkhart, eliminating a railroad crossing delay. City officials say work on the Hively Ave. overpass will continue this year.

The death of a Mishawaka High School student struck by a train Wednesday has renewed concern about pedestrian safety around railroad tracks.

Elkhart has secured the largest federal grant in its history. The grant will support the construction of a railroad overpass at Hively Avenue.

Emergency responders in New Paris can plan their routes faster with real-time data on whether railroad crossings are blocked by trains.
