The 27th Street Railroad Crossing Final Report is available here. The intent of this study is to expand on the previous studies and prepare a more detailed analysis of the crossing, potential impacts and improvements with the goal of providing practicable and fundable short-term and long-term improvement solutions for the 27th Street railroad crossing.

Project Overview
The scope of this project is to develop a feasibility study to determine short and long-term solutions for the existing at-grade railroad crossing on 27th Street in Billings. A high-level study was recently completed (2016 Montana Rail Grade Separation Study), identifying this location as being a high priority for MDT. A more detailed study is now being conducted to identify specific solutions that are fundable and meet the needs at this location.
The detailed feasibility study will consider, at a minimum; traffic operational and engineering analyses, safety, Railroad coordination, bicycle/pedestrian facilities, ADA needs, environmental issues, geometric considerations, right-of-way, utilities, public engagement, stakeholder input and impacts to adjacent buildings.

This MDT project combines the talents of HDR, Dowl, Kittelson and Associates, LDI and Big Sky Acoustics to produce a study that identifies short-term and long-term improvement solutions for the 27th Street at-grade railroad crossing in Billings. The team is also evaluating solutions via a transparent decision process, which incorporates feedback from local stakeholders and the public.
