CSX has notified us that the CR 52 single track crossing will close at approximately 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, June 7th, for maintenance. The work will happen overnight, and then the crossing will be repaved beginning Thursday morning. Because of the delays with the work, CSX brought in a water truck, which will cool the asphalt quicker, so it will be drivable sooner. Their goal is to have the crossing back open before Thursday evening's commute.
Detour Information
Those who normally travel CR 52 to areas west of Highway 31 will need to alter their commute during this timeframe. Work is being performed on the rail crossings in Old Town Helena during the same time frame as the work scheduled in Pelham. This means your detours into Helena and areas west of Hwy 31 are Industrial Rd in Alabaster to CR 58 or CR 52 via 9th Street NW, I-459 to Morgan Rd, or South Shades Crest Rd to Morgan Rd.
