Frankfort, Indiana – A State Road 28 closure in Frankfort is set to disrupt traffic as CSX begins railroad crossing repairs.
According to INDOT West Central, the short-term closure will affect State Road 28 between McKinley Avenue and 6th Street. The shutdown is scheduled to begin on or after Monday, March 23, to allow CSX Transportation crews to repair the railroad crossing in the area.
Officials said the closure will block a key հատված of SR 28 near the CSX rail line, a heavily traveled east-west corridor through the city. Drivers should expect detours and delays while work is underway.
INDOT has designated an official detour route using U.S. 421 to State Road 38 to Interstate 65. Motorists are encouraged to plan alternate routes in advance and allow extra travel time, especially during peak commuting hours.
The repair work is intended to improve safety and driving conditions at the crossing, which can deteriorate over time due to frequent train and vehicle traffic. No exact end date for the closure has been announced, but the project is described as short-term.
Local commuters, including students and workers traveling through central Frankfort, may experience temporary disruptions as traffic shifts to surrounding roadways.
Drivers are advised to follow posted signage and use caution in construction zones. Updates will be provided as the project progresses.
