The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) earlier this week approved Ohio Southern Railroad (OSR) to improve a grade crossing in Zanesville.

The PUCO approved the Ohio Rail Development Commission's construction authorization directing OSR to upgrade active warning devices for traffic signal preemption at the State Route 719 grade crossing by May 20, 2021.

Federal funding will help fund the project.

The commission is responsible for evaluating Ohio’s public grade crossings to determine the need for installing active warning devices.
