This podcast contains comments from the May 27, 2021 College Station city council meeting. Speakers include assistant public works director Emily Fisher and mayor Karl Mooney.
The College Station city council has agreed to pay Union Pacific railroad (UP) just over $1 million dollars to replace the crossing signals at Rock Prairie Road near Wellborn Road.
Assistant public works director Emily Fisher said the city submitted its request to UP in May 2017 for the new crossing. It's part of replacing the two lane asphalt stretch of Rock Prairie between Wellborn Road and Holleman with a three lane concrete roadway.
The city is paying UP for the right of way, building the crossing signal, and maintaining it for the next 20 years.
Fisher says it will take about six weeks to collect bids, then the council will consider awarding a contract. After that, the construction period is projected at 12 months.
When construction begins on the nearly $7.4 million dollar project, Fisher says Rock Prairie traffic will be limited to one lane.
