Railroad crossing improvement coming to tracks at Myrtle
Site will be closed, detour posted from Sept. 11-21
According to Director of Public Works Howard Killian, the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) has informed the City of Elmhurst of track repairs to improve the railroad crossing at Myrtle Avenue. The repairs will require closure of the crossing for about 10 business days. The scope of the project includes removing a track and rebuilding the crossing. The northernmost rail will be removed; thus, allowing for a smoother transition between the tracks and road. The vehicular crossing will also be rebuilt to improve accessibility across the tracks at Myrtle Avenue. The crossing is closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic as of Tuesday, Sept. 11 and will remain closed through Sept. 21 (weather permitting). A detour will be posted.
