Broadway St. railroad crossing closing

The Broadway Street crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks in Baker City will be closed from 7 a.m. Wednesday until 5 p.m. Friday while workers rebuild the crossing.

The work continues a project that started earlier this summer. Crews have rebuilt the crossings at Pocahontas Road, 17th Street and, last week, Campbell Street.

The Auburn Avenue crossing is tentatively set to be closed on Aug. 1-2; Union Pacific will announce the specific dates and times for that closure next week.

Later this summer workers will rebuild railroad crossings east of town, including the one on the road leading to Baker Sanitary Service's landfill.
