Commuters in Fayetteville are advised to plan for possible delays this Wednesday as a section of West Russell Street will close for railroad maintenance. According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, the closure will take place between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. near Ray Avenue to allow crews from R.J. Corman Railroad Group to complete necessary track repairs.
During the closure, all lanes in both directions will be blocked, and detour signs will be posted to guide motorists through alternate routes in the downtown area. Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time and follow posted signage to avoid congestion near the work zone.
The maintenance is part of scheduled efforts to improve railroad infrastructure and ensure safe operations through Fayetteville. Residents can check for updates and traffic information through NCDOT’s official channels to stay informed about ongoing road and rail work.
