Two railroad crossings in Decatur will be temporarily closed Thursday, November 12, as Norfolk Southern crews perform emergency rail replacement work.

The railroad crossing in the 600 block of North Water Street is scheduled to close at 7 a.m. and remain closed until approximately noon. Motorists should use East Cerro Gordo Street or East Wabash Avenue as alternate routes.

A second closure is planned for the crossing in the 1800 block of West Rock Springs Road. That crossing is scheduled to close at 10 a.m. and reopen around noon.

Both projects are weather permitting. Motorists should plan for possible delays and use alternate routes when necessary.
