Norfolk Southern’s repairs to the railroad crossing on State Route 120 near Buford Highway and West Lawrence Street in Duluth are taking longer than expected. Duluth city officials reported recently that with the Wednesday deluge of rain, repairs could keep the railroad crossing closed into Friday.

State Route 120 will be closed during the repairs and traffic will be detoured onto Buford Highway, Pleasant Hill, Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Abbott’s Bridge Road.

Detour signage will be in place. Large trucks, tractor-trailers and heavy vehicles will not be permitted to come through town until repairs are complete.
