Railroad Crossings From Century To Molino To Be Closed For Repairs

October 27, 2008

Work will continue for the next several weeks at railroad crossings from Century to Molino.

Hecker Road in Century is still closed while CSX makes repairs to that  crossing. Repairs and closures are also planned at crossings at several other crossings in the area.

Tentative plans call for the closure of crossings at Cottage Street, East McCurdy Street, Front Street, Jefferson Avenue, East Pond Street, Bogia Road, Cotton Lake Road, South Barth Road, North Brickyard Road and South Brickyard. Several other private crossings that run east off Highway 29 across the CSX tracks will also be closed for repair.

The final closures are expected to take place by December 8.

Other area crossings including those at Highway 4 in Century, Bluff Springs Road, Whirlpool Road, Mystic Springs Road and North Barth Road are not scheduled to be closed.

The closing of the Hecker Road crossing is near Carver/Century K-8 School. That closure has caused school buses to be rerouted  and is expected to cause minor problems for parents dropping off and picking up their children from the school.

    I think some of the folks who live nearest that crossing are really enjoying the absence of the traffic…….:}
