You may have noticed a lot of road work at Kirkwood railroad crossings over the last two weeks. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has authorized the installation of concrete medians at each of the five Union Pacific railroad crossings in the City of Kirkwood in order for the Quiet Zone to remain in effect.
The Quiet Zone was established by the FRA to eliminate train horns through the City. Due to several minor accidents at the Kirkwoood Road crossing, the City was in jeopardy of losing the Quiet Zone unless some alternative form of protection for the crossing was approved by the FRA.
If you have any questions about the road work, please contact Public Works director Todd Rehg at rehgta@kirkwoodmo.org. Don't forget to check out our Road Closings page on a regular basis to stay on top of current and future road closings. Thank you for your patience.
