CSX has notified us that one of its contractors will be performing maintenance on the single line track next week. The CR 52 West crossing will close at 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, June 6th. The work will happen overnight, and then the crossing will be repaved during the day Wednesday. Their goal is to have the crossing back open by 6:00 a.m. Thursday.
If all goes as planned, the crew *may* follow the same process on the Stonehaven Trail crossing once the work is finished on CR 52. The timing of maintenance is scheduled based on how things are progressing on the line ahead of our crossing and who they’ve notified of upcoming work further down the line. We have been assured that when the decision is made either way about the Stonehaven Trail crossing, we will be notified immediately, so we can pass that information to you.
It's important to keep in mind that the rail work is also weather dependent, so it is entirely possible that this information could change. We will pass along any changes as soon as we receive them.
Detour Information
Those who normally travel CR 52 to areas west of Highway 31 will need to alter their commute during this timeframe. We received word at 1:00 p.m. June 6, 2023, that the single track crossing on Hwy 261 in Old Town Helena will also close during the same time frame as the work scheduled in Pelham. This means your detours into Helena and areas west of Hwy 31 are Industrial Rd in Alabaster to CR 58 via 9th Street NW, I-459 to Morgan Rd, or South Shades Crest Rd to Morgan Rd.
