SIOUX FALLS (AP) — South Dakota is receiving nearly $2 million to relocate a section of railroad near the border of South Dakota and Iowa.
The state Department of Transportation is getting $1.8 million for the Sioux Valley Railroad Relocation project. The money will go toward moving a section of rail along the side of a hill near the Big Sioux River.
Transportation officials say the relocation will eliminate frequent service interruptions that are required to maintain the existing track.
The grant is part of the Federal Railroad Administration's Rail Line Relocation and Improvement. U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood recently announced nearly $17 million in grants would be given to 12 cities and states to relocate, replace and improve segments of railroad track.
