WALDO ‒ The CSX railroad crossing on Northeast State Road 26, located near U.S. 301 in Waldo, will be closed for reconstruction during the week of Aug. 19, 2024. The closure is set to begin at 5 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 19, and is expected to last through the week, with the road scheduled to reopen at 5 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 26, 2024. However, the timeline is dependent on weather conditions and any unforeseen circumstances that may arise during construction.

During the closure, detours will be in place for drivers to ensure continued access to Northeast State Road 26. Westbound drivers on Northeast State Road 26 will be directed to take U.S. 301 south to State Road 26 west, and then rejoin Northeast State Road 26. Eastbound drivers on State Road 26 who need to access areas east of the railroad crossing can either continue on State Road 26 to U.S. 301 north or proceed straight on State Road 26.

Motorists are advised to plan for potential delays and consider alternate routes where possible. The reconstruction is part of ongoing efforts to maintain and improve transportation infrastructure in the area.
