Norfolk Southern will close the railroad crossing at State Route 120/West Lawrenceville St., near Pure Taqueria, at 5 a.m. until late in the evening Jan. 10 for maintenance and repair work. No vehicular traffic will be permitted to cross the tracks.

Georgia DOT and Norfolk Southern are erecting detour signs to alert motorists accordingly. The city is suggesting Brock Road as a suitable detour for cars and small trucks.

Large vehicles, like tractor-trailers, will need to divert to Rogers Bridge Road.
