DOTD says this closure is scheduled to take place between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm, and is necessary to allow Union Pacific Railroad to perform repairs to those railroad tracks. All traffic will be forced to detour as this will be a complete closure with detour signage in place. As with all DOTD projects, this work will be done weather permitting.
