CSX Closing Cotton Lake Crossing Beginning Thursday

Escambia County FL Road Issues

CSX will be conducting work on the railroad crossing at Cotton Lake beginning the morning of Thursday, June 18. The crossing is expected to reopen Friday afternoon. Access to the Cotton Lake landing and campground will be unavailable during this time.

Maintaining railroad infrastructure is critical to minimizing service disruptions and preventing accidents and injuries. CSX spends more than $1 billion annually on improving and maintaining track, bridges, signals and other equipment to keep freight moving safely and reliably. CSX appreciates the patience of community residents as we complete this work as safely and efficiently as possible.

All activities are weather dependent and may be delayed or re-scheduled in the event of inclement weather. Motorists are reminded to travel with care through the work zone and to watch for construction equipment and workers entering and exiting the roadway.
