Following the recently completed repairs on Antioch Road in Crestview, Florida Gulf & Atlantic Railroad is preparing for another series of repairs, this time in Downtown Crestview.

The Wilson Street railroad crossing will be closed Nov. 7 – 13 to allow Florida Gulf Atlantic to make much-needed repairs, according to the City of Crestview.

  • The crossing will reopen on Nov. 14.

Additionally, the Main Street railroad crossing will also be closed Nov. 14 – 20 for repairs at that crossing. 

“We understand the closures will be inconvenient for motorists and downtown businesses. Still, we are excited about these repairs as they will continue to move us forward with our Downtown Revitalization Project,” said City Manager Tim Bolduc. 

West Woodruff Ave and Martin Luther King Jr. Ave will serve as the designated detour routes during the closures, and signage will be placed throughout the downtown area to assist motorists.
