Traffic delays in Habersham and Banks counties could be possible in the days ahead.
A contractor with Norfolk Southern railroad company plans to continue work to replace railroad crossings between Suwanee and Baldwin, which could temporarily cause delays for drivers in the area.
As of Monday, Jan. 20, crews will work on the north end of Lula, so crossing closures could potentially impact Habersham County and Banks County residents this week.
Possible closures
In the coming days, the following railroad crossings in Habersham County will be temporarily closed for repairs:
- Garland White Road
- Alto Village Road
- Grant Mill Road
- Wynn Shoals Road
- McDaniel Street
- Apple Pie Ridge Road
Closure Details: Each crossing will be closed for 48 to 72 hours to allow crews to replace crossties, resurface the crossings, and repave the area. These closures are necessary to ensure the safety and quality of the railroad infrastructure.
Access for Emergency Vehicles: During the closure periods, emergency vehicles will continue to have access to the affected areas. Drivers are advised to plan alternate routes and be aware of temporary detours.
