U.S. 50 in Seymour to close for railroad crossing repairs next week

SEYMOUR —The Indiana Department of Transportation plans to close U.S. Highway 50 next week at the railroad crossing located in Seymour between Indianapolis Avenue and East Street. From 6 p.m. Sept. 12 to 6 p.m. Sept. 13 — weather permitting — rehabilitation operations will occupy along track area.

A state highway detour routes motorists around this U.S. 50 rail closure via U.S. 31, State Road 250 and S.R. 11.

Louisville & Indiana Railroad crews will replace existing rubber panels at the U.S. 50 crossing with new concrete panels.  This involves removing tracks and adjusting the elevation.

Next month, L & I Railroad will make crossing repairs at its S.R. 258 crossing in Seymour.
