Button Hall Avenue Railroad Crossing Undergoing Repairs
Starting from Monday, April 8, the Button Hall Avenue railroad crossing in Goose Creek, South Carolina, will experience a temporary closure due to necessary repair works. The closure, which extends until Wednesday, April 10, is planned by CSX Transportation to establish optimum functionality and safety of the crossing.
Impact on Traffic
The city announced that this crucial repair project will restrict traffic from crossing the railroad tracks to access part of Button Hall Avenue. Specifically, the closure affects those seeking to reach the Department of Public Works and the Goose Creek Fire Department Headquarters Station residing on that particular strip of the avenue.
This restriction may temporarily affect road users, particularly those within the immediate rendering public services, prompting them to seek alternative routes during the repair period.
Alternative Routes
As the railroad crossing undergoes the required maintenance work, Water Tower Road has been designated as the official detour for motorists needing to navigate around the affected area.
The detour routing is meant to minimize the possible congestion and delay that might arise as a result of the closure, facilitating a smoother flow of traffic and giving road users an alternative access to their desired destinations.
Going Forward
The city and CSX Transportation are working cooperatively to ensure these improvements cause minimal disruption and are undertaken swiftly and efficiently. The repair work carried out by CSX Transportation is crucial to the city’s goal of enhancing transportation infrastructure for the benefit of all road users.
The temporary inconvenience posed by these refurbishments is anticipated to yield long-term benefits, including improved safety and efficient operation at the Button Hall Avenue railroad crossing.
Temporary Measures for Safety
In the interim, road users are encouraged to exercise caution when approaching this section of Button Hall Avenue and to obey signage and barriers placed for safety purposes. While the detour is in place, it is important that every motorist respects the temporary modifications to their routes to ensure an efficient flow of traffic.
Closure Recap
To recap, the Button Hall Avenue railroad crossing will be closed from Monday, April 8 to Wednesday, April 10 for necessary repair work by CSX Transportation. All traffic seeking access to the Department of Public Works and the Goose Creek Fire Department Headquarters Station via this route will need to find alternate routes, with Water Tower Road designated as the official detour.
