GDOT Closes S.R. 140 For Railroad Crossing Repaving

CSX Railroad will be repaving the railroad crossing today on S.R. 140 near U.S 411/S.R. 61 in Rydal.

Motorists who routinely use State Route 140 in Rydal may want to find another route today. 

The Georgia Department of Transportation announced Thursday morning that the state highway will be closed at the railroad crossing between 9 a.m. and noon so CSX Railroad can repave the crossing. 

S.R. 140 will be closed near U.S. 411/61, and traffic will be detoured onto those highways and to I-75 northbound in Adairsville.
