Railroad Crossing Repairs Scheduled for
State Roads in Spencer and Warrick Counties

SPENCER/WARRICK COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation announces railroad crossing repairs on two state roads.

Beginning on or around Tuesday, Sept. 25, crews working for Norfolk Southern Railroad will begin replacing crossings on both State Road 62 and 161 in Warrick and Spencer Counties. The schedule for repairs is as follows:

• 9/25 - S.R. 62 in Dale between U.S. 231 and S.R. 245. The official detour uses U.S. 231 and S.R. 162.
• 9/27 – S.R. 62 in Gentryville between S.R. 161 and U.S. 231. The official detour uses S.R 162, U.S. 231, S.R. 68 and S.R. 161.
• 9/28 - S. R. 161 in Tennyson between S.R. 68 and S.R. 62. The official detour uses S.R. 68, U.S. 231, and S.R 62.
• 10/2 – S.R. 62 in Boonville between S.R. 61 and S.R. 161. The official detour uses S.R. 61, S.R. 68, and S.R. 161.

These crossing repairs are expected to take about one to three days each and are not expected to overlap. During the closures, local traffic will have access up to the point of closure. All through traffic should use the official detour. Motorists should leave extra time to get to your destination, slow down in work zones and eliminate distractions.
