Description:

Organized by the Chief Engineers Panel

Relationships between road authorities and railway companies do not always run smoothly, and conflicts emerge around both infrastructure and operations. Grade separations are a common sticking point that can involve lengthy negotiations, appeals, and costly resolutions; other issues include the safety and maintenance of level crossings. However, some road authorities have developed constructive relationships with railways; this session will explore some typical challenges and possible strategies to overcome them.
