Frankfort, IN – A key stretch of State Road 28 in Frankfort is set to close beginning Monday as crews work to repair a railroad crossing, impacting daily commutes and local traffic flow.
According to INDOT West Central, the closure will take place on or after Monday and will affect State Road 28 between McKinley Avenue and 6th Street. The shutdown is necessary to allow CSX Transportation crews to complete repairs at the railroad crossing that intersects the roadway.
Drivers traveling through Frankfort should expect disruptions and are urged to plan alternate routes ahead of time. The affected section of State Road 28 is a commonly used corridor through the city, and the closure could lead to increased congestion on surrounding streets as motorists reroute.
Officials have not specified an exact reopening date but indicated the closure is expected to be short-term while repairs are completed efficiently. Motorists are encouraged to use caution in the area, follow posted signage, and remain alert for changing traffic patterns.
Local residents and businesses may also experience temporary access changes during the repair period. INDOT advises drivers to stay updated through official channels for any changes or updates regarding the closure timeline.
The project is part of ongoing infrastructure maintenance efforts aimed at improving roadway safety and ensuring reliable rail crossings across Indiana.
Traffic officials emphasize that while the closure may cause temporary inconvenience, the repairs are critical for long-term safety at the crossing.
