Please keep in mind the estimated closure time frames are merely the best approximation CSX can provide at this time. These dates are highly subject to change with or without notice simply due to many of the unforeseen circumstances that can occur in the field once the work begins.

With the one way in/out crossings, CSX will work as hard as possible to have those accessible within a 24-hour period (or less).

CSX has created a Google map that will allow you to view each crossing impacted. When you pull up the map, you will see a white box to the left of the screen. Simply look for your respective county and click on the crossings labeled under your county.

The map will highlight exactly where the crossings are located.
