BNSF completing crossing work and Boulder County repairing roadway near tracks

Boulder County, Colo. - The
BNSF Railway has notified Boulder County that they will be replacing two
railway crossings over the next two weeks; one on Hygiene Road west of 75th
Street; and, one on 75th Street south of Hygiene Road.

The
crossing replacement on Hygiene Road just west of 75th Street is
scheduled to begin 7 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 9. Hygiene Road will be closed to all traffic,
including bicycles, between 75th Street and Crane Hollow Drive for
up to three days, or until crossing work is complete.

The
crossing replacement on 75th Street will begin shortly after Hygiene
Road is reopened to traffic. 75th Street will be closed between
Hygiene Road and the entrance to Pella Crossing Open Space for up to three
days, or until crossing work is completed.

The
timing and extent of each closure will be posted at www.BoCoConeZones.com as soon as
details are finalized by BNSF.

BNSF
may also replace a third crossing on 83rd Street just south of the
Diagonal Highway following the 75th Street project. More information
on that closure will be released when available.

All
work is weather dependent. Detours will be established. The complete roadway
closure will be in effect for vehicles including bicycles.
