Dozens of local rail crossings closed for maintenance
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - In January and February, dozens of rail crossings will be closed for maintenance and repairs between Augusta and Modoc, S.C.
The work has already started in some locations and will last through about Feb. 1.
Crews will start in Augusta and work their way east, with a different closure schedule for each crossing.
MORE TRAFFIC COVERAGE:
- Traffic pain will transform Lewiston Road interchange
- 13th Street roadwork delays continue to cause headaches
- It’s time for more overnight lane closures at state line
No traffic will be allowed across each crossing while it’s closed, and only a handful of crossings will be closed at a time. Once work is completed on each, it will be reopened.
