FM 2208 Railroad Crossing Southwest of Jefferson to Close for Repairs


Motorists who normally travel FM 2208 southwest of Jefferson will need to find an alternate route on Thursday, Nov. 19.  Union Pacific Railroad will be closing the highway to through-traffic on this date to make repairs to the railroad crossing.

Traffic will officially be detoured on a signed route on US 59, FM 1997, FM 3001 and FM 2208. Portable message boards will be placed near the railroad crossing beforehand to warn motorists of the scheduled road closure.  The construction schedule and road closure can change due to inclement weather or other unforeseen problems.

Anyone having any questions about the road closure, detour routes or construction work can call the Texas Department of Transportation Jefferson maintenance section at 903-665-2692 for more information.
