INDEPENDENCE—Work will continue on the Maggio Road crossing next Monday, March 29, as Canadian National continues to complete maintenance work on several crossings in the mid-parish area.

On Friday, Tangipahoa Parish President Robby Miller said crews were able to complete a temporary fix at the Maggio Road crossing near Lallie Kemp Medical Center. Crews will return to that site on Monday, March 29, to make a permanent repair at that location before continuing a series of maintenance projects on crossings in the Independence area.

Under the new schedule, crews will do maintenance work on the following dates at the crossings listed below:

Monday, March 29: Maggio Road Crossing, Independence

Tuesday, March 30: Velma Crossing, Velma

Tuesday, April 6: Black Cat Crossing, Independence

Individual crossings are expected to be closed during daylight hours starting at 7 a.m. each day, and travelers will have to detour around the crossing during the work period. No traffic will be allowed through the crossing during the scheduled closure. All work will be completed on a weather-permitting basis, railroad officials said.
