The Union Pacific Railroad plans to close the crossing on Russell Road, east of Delany Road, for railroad maintenance. The closure will affect access to Pleasant Prairie’s Residential Recycling Center at 8000 128th Street. Railroad maintenance and road closure is scheduled to begin at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 23 and finish by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, October 25.
The railroad crossing will be closed to all traffic. Detour signage will be posted directing traffic along Kilbourne Road to HWY 173 to HWY 31 (Green Bay Road). Local traffic may use 9th street from both Green Bay Road and Delany to access the Residential Recycling Center.
The schedule for the completion of the work is weather dependent. If work is completed ahead of schedule, the road will reopen accordingly. Drivers in the project area are asked to abide by construction signage and drive with great care, patience, and thoughtful attention while this work is being completed.
