Numerous Rail Crossings To Close

January 26, 2016

Due to upcoming maintenance repairs by CSX, traffic will experience a short-term crossing closure at Hecker Road in Escambia County beginning at 7 a.m. on Tuesday with the road expected to reopen at 5 p.m. on Wednesday. The closure is part of repairs that will be made to the railroad crossing before work begins on State Road 4.

CSX will be conducting work throughout northern Escambia County as part of its network-wide crossing maintenance program. Operations will begin Tuesday, Feb. 9, with work expected to be completed within one week.

CSX engineering crews will be laying new rail ties, resurfacing crossings and repaving them with asphalt. CSX has worked closely with local officials to coordinate the crossing closures to minimize disruption to the community and is communicating directly with residents where there are dead-end roads or no-outlet situations.

Traffic will experience temporary closures to the following road crossings during the operations period:

  • Cottage Street
  • McCurdy Road
  • State Road 4
  • Hecker Road
  • Front Street
  • East Pond Street
  • Jefferson Avenue
  • Salters Lake Road
  • Bluff Springs Road
  • Courtney Road
  • Mystic Springs Road
  • E. Bogia Road
  • Cotton Lake Road

The roads lsited above will be temporarily closed at different times throughout the week depending on maintenance schedule, according to CSX.

All activities are weather dependent and may be delayed or rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. Motorists are reminded to travel with care through the work zone and to watch for construction equipment and workers entering and exiting the roadway.
