Ten rail freight projects will receive grants from the Michigan Rail Enhancement Grant Program.
The Michigan Department of Transportation said the $16 million in grants being awarded will improve freight-rail safety; provide operational efficiency, accessibility, capacity; and improve track conditions.
The projects are being supplemented by $11 million in money being put up by the grant recipients. The state grants provide funding for up to 70 percent of a project’s cost.
The largest grant of nearly $3.9 million was awarded to the Adrian & Blissfield Rail Road to replace rail, ties and ballast, surface track and complete yard improvements.
Lake State Railway received four grants totaling more than $4.9 million for various projects, including the construction of a new transload facility.
A complete list of the grant recipients and their projects is available from Michigan.gov/mdot. from the akronrrblog
