Louisville & Indiana railroad repairs to close local streets
Crews will be closing Columbus railroad crossings over the next few weeks.
According to Legacy Excavating, the contractor for the project on the Louisville and Indiana Railroad tracks, the company will be making crossing repairs in the Columbus area. Company officials say they recognize that the closings may cause some inconvenience and seek your understanding and cooperation. They say you should plan accordingly and use an alternate route if necessary.
The first closings happen next week including South Hinman Street, South of Vermont Street on Tuesday; South Beatty Lane south of Georgia Street on Wednesday and South Mapleton south of Wolf Street on Thursday.
Other upcoming crossings include:
- South Gladstone Ave north of Kreutzer Drive on Tuesday, April 15th.
- South Marr Road east of South Gladstone Ave and south of Roadway Drive on Wednesday, April 16th
The crossings are expected to be closed from 6 to 6 each day.
The contractors are also announcing an overnight closing just west of the intersection of 3rd and Lindsey Streets on Saturday, April 12th. That will be from 9 p.m. Saturday to 9 a.m. Sunday. This closure will affect all westbound SR46 traffic and all southbound Jonesville Road traffic.
The work schedule is dependent on the weather.
