Edgewood Avenue To Close Friday For Railroad Crossing Replacement

FDOT

Several blocks of Edgewood Avenue will be closed in both directions next week while the railroad crossing at the intersection of Edgewood and West 20th Street is replaced.

According to the Florida Department of Transportation, CSX crews will put in a concrete crossing that’s designed to last longer and hold up better under heavy traffic. 

Work on the crossing is set to start at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13 and wrap up by 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20.

FDOT officials say police officers will be present during the closure to redirect traffic.

An average of 17,400 vehicles travel this section of Edgewood Avenue every day.
