INDIAN TRAIL, N.C. — Indian Trail Road in downtown Indian Trail will close for three days starting Jan. 24.
CSX Transportation will be replacing the railroad crossing in the heart of town near Cross Paths Park and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The work will involve replacing wooded railroad ties with a concrete apron. This change will make the crossing more durable and better able to withstand heavy traffic, according to the town's advisory.
Drivers are advised to expect delays. Detours are over a mile away in each direction: Stallings Road is over a mile to the north while Wesley Chapel Stouts Road is over two miles to the south.
CSX Transportation uses this rail line to link Monroe to Charlotte and beyond. It carries numerous freight trains daily.
