New Braunfels residents and commuters should prepare for road closures due to Union Pacific's ongoing maintenance on several railroad crossings starting Tuesday until tomorrow. Some roads will be closed intermittently from 1 a.m. to 1 p.m. as part of a project that began earlier this month. It's advisable to watch for detour signs or plan alternative routes in advance, according to the City of New Braunfels website.
On Tuesday, the crossings at Gruene Road and Orion Drive were closed. Today, Conrads Lane was also blocked, leading to possible delays for commuters. FM 1102 will be closed tomorrow, completing this phase of maintenance. Drivers should stay alert for updates, as the schedule may change.
This isn't the first round of closures by Union Pacific this month; it follows disruptions from October 1 to last Tuesday. During that earlier maintenance, streets like Bridge Street, West Mill Street, and San Antonio Street were also affected. These repeated closures aim to maintain and improve railroad crossing infrastructure for safety and reliability.
