JEFFERSON - The Georgia Department of Transportation announces plans to upgrade a downtown Jefferson railroad crossing - the one on State Route 11 Business/Lee Street - Monday and Tuesday, July 12 and 13 if weather permits. The crossing will close by 9 a.m. Monday and will remain closed around the clock until work is completed Tuesday afternoon.
The crossing must be closed while the concrete panels are removed and replaced. A signed detour will be in place utilizing US 129/State Route 11/Damon Gause Bypass.
These upgrades will improve the ride for vehicles as they cross the railroad tracks. The old timbers will be removed and replaced with concrete. The concrete panels will be more stable and smoother. It will also last much longer with less maintenance. , explained District Engineer Todd McDuffie.
