The proposed project includes the closure of highway-rail at-grade crossings at W. Green Street (CS 81213) and S Lee Street (CS 72813L where "T'' Type turnarounds will be constructed at both locations on the south side of the CSX Transportation railroad ROW. The highway-rail at-grade crossing at ML King Jr. Drive (CR 245) will be upgraded including flashing lights and gates. This proposed project includes pavement and drainage improvements within city ROW that include approximately 840 feet of new pavement on the existing dirt/gravel road section of Avery Street; an overlay of approximately 265 feet of the existing pavement section on E Green Street between S Court Street and S Culpepper Street; an overlay of existing pavement section of approximately 815 feet on S Lee Street between E Green Street and the proposed 'T' Type turnaround to the north; an overlay of the existing pavement on Railroad Street between S Lee Street and ML King Jr Drive; and the replacement of the drainage pipe under Railroad Street near the intersection with Crawford Street. There is no additional ROW required for this project. The project corridor is approximately 1.75 mile long. The cumulative disturbed acreage on this project will be approximately one acre.
