Gautier Secures $1.2 Million in Federal Funding for Dolphin Drive/CSX Grade Separation Design

The City of Gautier has received $1.2 million in federal funding from the FRA’s Railroad Crossing Elimination Grant Program to design the Dolphin Drive/CSX Railroad Grade Separation Project. This project aims to replace the at-grade railroad crossing with an elevated bridge, improving safety, reducing traffic congestion, and ensuring reliable access for residents and emergency services.

Frequent train blockages have created ongoing challenges for Gautier, delaying emergency responses more than 30 times annually. This design phase represents a major step toward a long-term solution. Additional funding will be sought for construction once the design is complete.

The City extends its gratitude to Congressman Mike Ezell, Senator Roger Wicker, and Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith for their support in securing this grant.

The City remains committed to improving infrastructure and ensuring a safer, more accessible Gautier.
