From The Lexington Times, drivers will need to plan an alternate route next week as Waller Avenue prepares to close temporarily at its railroad crossing. The closure will be in effect from April twentieth through April twenty-fifth as Norfolk Southern works on a rail project in the area. During the five-day closure, motorists who normally use that section of Waller Avenue will need to find another way around. The city is recommending Virginia Avenue as the best alternate route for drivers to bypass the construction zone. The closure is expected to last the full work week, wrapping up by Friday, April twenty-fifth. If you regularly commute through that area or use Waller Avenue to get around town, you'll want to add a few extra minutes to your travel time and plan accordingly. This is just a brief disruption as the railroad company completes necessary work on the crossing.
