Thursday CSX Crossing Closure Update, And Yes They Will Fix Old Chemstrand
November 21, 2024
CSX continues to close railroad crossings for maintenance in Escambia County, and NorthEscambia.com has learned that they return to a crossing on Old Chemstrand Road to make additional improvements.
Numerous readers have complained to us about the Old Chemstrand crossing work being subpar and creating a dangerous situation. CSX will return and close the Old Chemstrand crossing Thursday morning to extend one side of the approach to that it is not as bumpy and abrupt, according to an Escambia County official.
Here is an update on the other openings and closings:
Archer Road – open
El Camino Drive – open
Woodbury Circle – reopening Thursday morning
Eded Lane — open
Cotton Lake Road — closing Thursday morning
The Becks Lake Road crossing will not close this week as previously planned. Becks Lane will close next Monday and Tuesday with a planned reopening on Wednesday. A temporary crossing should be in place during the closure.

@Anonymous CSX is responsible for its contractors and the quality of completed work.
CSX does not pave, they only repair the tracks itself. A third party contractor (vorst paving) are the ones that pave roadways crossing csx tracks. Most of the issues with the crossings are the paving. The road closures are also maintained by a third party with the planning of Csx of course.
Kingsfield isn’t any better!
Olive Rd. Could use some improvement it’s rougher now then it was previously
RE: Old Chemstrand. FANTASTIC!!!!
They need to go relick the crossing at Kingsfield as well. They shouldnt be making these crossings worse.
