SH 11 Railroad Crossing to Close in Newsome For Repairs April 3

Motorists who normally travel State Highway 11 through Newsome in western Camp County will need to find an alternate route on Friday, April 3.  Kansas City Southern Railroad will be closing the highway to through-traffic on this date to make repairs to the railroad crossing.

Traffic will officially be detoured on a signed route on FM 115, FM 1448 and FM 1519. Portable message boards will be placed near the railroad crossing beforehand to warn motorists of the scheduled road closure. The construction schedule and road closure can change due to inclement weather or other unforeseen problems.

Anyone having any questions about the road closure, detour routes or construction work can call the Texas Department of Transportation Mount Pleasant maintenance section at 903-572-8511 for more information.
