Edinburgh to see railroad closings next week

The work to add new rails to the Louisville and Indiana railroad line through Bartholomew County is ongoing and pretty soon that work will be in the town of Edinburgh.

The town is warning of closings, starting on Wednesday, May 31st going through Thursday, June 1st as crews replace the tracks. Each intersection will have to be closed twice, first on one side of an intersection and then again as they replace the other side of the rails.

The town says that railroad crossings should only be closed for a few hours at a time and that the work should not be going on at night.

Among the affected streets and roads:

  • County Road 900N
  • County Line Rd.
  • Perry St.
  • Thompson St.
  • Main Cross St.
  • Naomi St.
  • County Road 700E
  • County Road 650S
  • County Road 775E

The city will have a detour set up through Center Cross Street, or State Road 252.

And all of this work is dependent on the weather.
