Project Update: Dolphin Drive Railroad Grade Separation

The City of Gautier is moving forward with the design phase of the Dolphin Drive Railroad Grade Separation Project — a long-awaited solution to one of the city’s most persistent safety and traffic concerns.

Residents and first responders have long voiced frustrations over frequent delays caused by train crossings on Dolphin Drive. In early 2025, the City was awarded funding to begin designing a grade-separated overpass, which would allow vehicles to pass safely and continuously over the railroad tracks.

The City is currently reviewing engineering proposals, and the Gautier City Council is expected to select a firm this September. Once the design is complete, the City will be eligible to pursue funding for the construction phase.
