Quincy Avenue Railroad Crossing to Close in July

City crews will be removing and replacing railroad track throughout the month.

The crossing at Quincy Avenue and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad will be closed throughout the month of July. 

Crews will be removing and replacing railroad track beginning Monday, July 1, according to the city of Naperville. Three of the four existing railroad tracks, rails, ties, planks and pavement will be removed. The fourth track run and materials will be replaced by the BNSF. 

Following track work, Department of Public Works crews will repave the roadway and add curb and sidewalk in the location of the three removed tracks. After the work is completed cars can expect a smoother driving experience and an enhanced pedestrian crossing due to new sidewalks.

A detour map and additional project details are available to view on the project webpage at www.naperville.il.us/quincyavenueimprovements.aspx. Thru traffic will be detoured around Quincy Avenue via Ogden Avenue, Jefferson Avenue and Fort Hill Drive.
