Project Overview
As part of ongoing efforts to create railway “Quiet Zones,” work begins in April 2023 on another in-City railroad crossing – “F” Street at Roeder. This project improves safety of the F Street railroad crossing for trains, vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. Please expect travel delays as there will be both single-lane and full closures of F Street at Roeder. There will be occasional detours. Accesses to businesses, as well as local access for emergency vehicles, will be maintained throughout construction.
Work on this project began in April 2023 and will continue intermittently through the summer.
Project benefits include:
- ADA and safety upgrades
- Better railway crossing gates
- Updated signs and markings
- Pedestrian and bicycle upgrades and improved connectivity
This project is funded by Federal RAIL Funds and the Bellingham Transportation Fund.
Status – September 2023
F Street is expected to be closed through September 2023 at the BNSF railroad crossing. Work on this project was paused while waiting for an equipment delay. The equipment has now arrived and we have begun installation. Signed detours are in place. Access to all area businesses will be maintained.
