Updated: Escambia County CSX Crossing Closure List

March 13, 2015

CSX is currently conducting work throughout Escambia County as part of its network-wide crossing maintenance program. This phase of the program began March 9 and  covers road crossings from East Oakfield Road through Eden Lane. CSX engineering crews will be laying new rail ties, resurfacing crossings and repaving them with asphalt. The work is expected to be completed within two weeks.

The following updated schedule has been provided by CSX:

  • Olive Road, Johnson Road, Ensley Street  – opened Thursday morning
  • Roberts Road, Kingsfield Road — weather delays, crossings will be opened once the asphalt is in place and has cured enough to allow traffic to traverse the area;
  • Chemstrand Road, Archer Road — closing Monday, reopening Tuesday
  • El Camino Road — closed Tuesday, back Wednesday, March 18
  • Countri Lane, out Tuesday, postponed indefinitely
  • Woodbury Road, out Tuesday, temporarily in Tuesday, out Wednesday, March 18, for surfacing & paving
  • Becks Lake Road, out Wednesday, March 18, temporarily in Wednesday, March 18, out Thursday, March 19, back on Thursday, March 19
  • Eden Lane, out Wednesday, March 18, back Thursday, March 19

All activities are weather dependent and may be delayed or re-scheduled in the event of inclement weather.

    Anyone know why Countri Lane is listed as postponed indefinitely? What happened?

    Thank you for posting this information! This is the only place I found it, so you are doing a great job! North Escambia is always informative, and I really appreciate it!

    An update I just received at 3:30pm, the schedule is delayed (probably weather). Countri Lane will not be done on Tuesday/Wednesday, so I assume others in this area will be delayed as well. There was no updated timeline, however the RR people said they will keep residents notified as the schedule is updated.
