🚧 UPDATE...Again. 🚧

It appears these railroad crossing closures are a bit of a moving train. 🚂

We've now been told the Jetway Road crossing will NOT be closing this week after all. At this point, it may happen sometime next week, but no firm schedule has been provided.

Rather than sending everyone on another detour that doesn't happen, we'll hold off on additional updates until we receive a more definitive schedule from the railroad.

As soon as we know something for certain, you'll know too. Thanks for rolling with the changes! 🚂
