Greene County – The Missouri Department of Transportation will hold an April 5 public meeting in Republic to share information and receive additional feedback from residents as work progresses on a railroad crossing safety study between Republic and Marionville.
MoDOT received excellent feedback from railroad surveys and information gathered from Republic residents at a meeting held in April 2017 and in December 2017. Working with an engineering consultant, the information gathered helped develop initial safety alternatives for rail crossings.
The information gathered will be presented to the Republic community from 4:30-6:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 5, at the Republic Community Center, 711 E. Miller Road.
MoDOT has embarked on a study to assess rail crossing safety along Route 60 between Greene County Route MM at Republic and County Road 1210 west of Marionville. The study will give MoDOT a blueprint for moving forward with crossing improvements when funding becomes available.
For those unable to attend the listening sessions, all of the exhibits and information will be available online at www.modot.org/southwest.
