The repair of a railroad crossing near Cherryvale will cause the closure of a county road for several days this week.

The South Kansas & Oklahoma Railroad will begin repairs on August 5 at the intersection of County Roads 5000 and 5900, located east of Cherryvale between the City and Big Hill Lake. During repairs, County Road 5000 will be closed at the rail crossing. Drivers are asked to plan an alternate route of travel and allow extra time while using caution near the work zone.

The repairs are expected to be completed on Friday, August 7.
