Travelers in Norman, Oklahoma, are hitting a snag on Acres Street, where a railroad panel issue has prompted a closure between Jones and James Garner. The problem, which has barred motorists from one of the local thoroughfares, is on the radar of railroad operator BNSF, who've been contacted to make the necessary repairs. Revealed by a recent City of Norman announcement, the area will be off-limits until BNSF addresses the situation.
With no clear timeline on when the street will reopen, the City of Norman has initiated a detour route, guiding drivers around the troubled rail crossing. During the closure, questions or concerns can be directed to BNSF at 1-800-832-5452, who has been made aware of the issue by motorists that need to navigate the shutdown. Meanwhile, travelers are reminded to exercise patience and allow extra time for detours.
The closure of Acres Street is causing inconvenience for local commuters, as it's an important route in the City of Norman. Ensuring safe crossings at railroad intersections is a priority, and BNSF is working quickly to fix the issue and reopen the street.
