We would like to point out after seeing all the discussions today on social media, a few things about the proposed bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad. City Council on June 7th, 2022 meeting added approximately $24 million to build a bridge, or what is called above grade crossing, potentially in the downtown area. As you will see in the attached video, Kaufman County is working with TXDOT for the FM 548 and railroad intersection to see if an above grade or below grade crossing could be built at that location compared to the at grade crossing that is there now. They are using funds earmarked from the 2019 Kaufman County Road Bond Package for the FM 548 South Project going from Hwy 80 to where it meets FM 740 (and continuing FM 740 to I-20). They have hired the Jacobs Engineering Group who works quite frequently with Union Pacific projects to do an engineering study for the FM 548 crossing to see if an over/under crossing is feasible. The county has added to the study to have downtown Forney crossings and area to see if another above grade crossing would be feasible in this area. When this study is completed, if an overpass or bridge would be feasible, the city could then move on design, engineering, and the process of building the bridge on their own timeline. FM 548 over or under if feasible would then go back to TXDOT as they continue their work on the FM 548 South project. The city does not control TXDOT roads or projects. Council decided to add these funds with the intention of building the bridge if feasible, at either an extension of Pinson Rd south over the tracks to Trinity or beyond, or over the tracks at Chestnut Street (picture in the comments).
