Aurora Route K closed for RR crossing wor
February 6, 2019
Work on Lawrence County Route K (Elliott Avenue) at the railroad crossing between Olive Street and Mill Street in Aurora is taking place around the clock until Thursday, Feb. 14.
The contractor is making improvements at the Missouri & Northern Arkansas Railroad as part of a project to build a railroad overpass and complete other railroad crossing upgrades in Aurora.
Once all railroad crossing improvements are made, the City of Aurora will apply to the Federal Railroad Administration to establish a quiet zone which means trains will no longer sound their warning horns while traveling between Route 39 and Elliot Avenue in Aurora.
No signed detour is planned.
Work on the Missouri Route 39 bridge over the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railroad remains suspended while the contractor awaits approval from BNSF of plans for work over and near the tracks.
