Asphalt repair work to a BNSF Railway crossing Monday and Tuesday on Colo. 66 will close the highway between Alpine and Erfert streets.
The work is expected to take two full days and the city in a news release encouraged motorists to avoid the area. A detour route through Longmont is available via Main Street, 17th Avenue and Pace Street, according to the release.
BNSF has experienced periodic issues at the Colo. 66 rail crossing, leading to multiple temporary repairs earlier this year.
This railroad work is not a city project, and the repairs are being coordinated by and paid for by BNSF and the Colorado Department of Transportation, according to the release.
Updates on the project will be shared as available on the city’s Facebook and Twitter pages. Questions can be directed to BNSF at 800-832-5452 or via this online form.
