Norfolk Southern Railroad closing street crossings in Columbus

Columbus Mayor Teresa Tomlinson announced that Norfolk Southern Railroad will close multiple crossing during the week so its contractor can perform repairs and upgrades.

The closings will be on Shep Street, Ace Way Drive, Buena Vista Road, Oakview Avenue, 10th Avenue, 10th Street, 12th Street, Fifth Avenue and Third Avenue.

Drivers detouring around the 10th Street closure should use Ninth Street or the 11th Street underpass.

Drivers detouring around the Fifth Avenue closure should use Veterans Parkway.

All crossings will open again as soon as the repairs are completed.
