Saline County has announced that G&W Railroad plans to replace crossings on its line beginning Thursday.
According to information from the Saline County Road and Bridge Department, G&W Railroad owns the railroad track that ties into the Union Pacific Railroad west of Solomon and runs northwest to Bennington and eventually to Beloit.
On Thursday, G&W Railroad will begin a project to replace all road crossings beginning at Amos Road, north of Old Hwy 40, the information from the Road and Bridge Department noted. Crossing replacements will proceed north. It is anticipated that each crossing will be closed for one day only.
Detour routes will not be signed for any Saline County projects.
As of today, the two crossings on Old Hwy 40 are not scheduled to be replaced, however, they may be added at a later date.
Please contact the G&W Railroad (785-302-8185) for any issues that you may have with the project.
