Downtown Quiet Zone
The Navasota Subdivision enters the City of Bryan from the west and then turns south near 28th Street and Bryan Ave. The Quiet Zone will span from Graham Drive to W. Pease Street on this track.
- Phase 1: Bryan Subdivision
- Phase 2: Navasota Subdivision
- Phase 3: Groesbeck Crossing
Once the improvements to all three phases of the Downtown Quiet Zone are completed and approved by the FRA, trains will no longer sound at these crossings.
Phases of the Quiet Zone Project
Phase 1: Bryan Subdivision
Varying improvements, including medians, islands, sidewalks, striping, signage and gate arm improvements are planned for the following intersections:
