Another wave of railroad crossing closures is moving through the area.
In Columbia County, crews are expected to close the following CSX train crossing sites for 3-5 days:
- Pleasant Home Road

Some of the crossings are one-way and work was expected to begin on those first, according to a statement.

The information is what was shared by CSX Transportation with Columbia County, which is not responsible for maintaining or repairing the crossings, it said. The county made no guarantee the work would go as planned.
The following map, provided by Columbia County, shows the status of rail crossing work throughout the region.
The closings come on the heels of ongoing rail crossing and track work in downtown and south Augusta, as well as last week’s derailment near the CSX Yard.
Augusta Transit said the track work was causing “major delays” for inbound and outbound bus routes. For more transit information call 706-821-1719.
