Short detours will be in effect for most crossings and minor travel delays are expected. Commuters should drive carefully and be alert to signs redirecting traffic. Extra time should be added to trips along Bonnie Mine Road, since the detour route will be lengthy with traffic rerouted along County Road 640E (Pinecrest Road) and Agricola Road to bypass closure at the rail crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monday, January 17, 2022:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tricote Road \u2013 south of Old Highway 60<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuesday, January 18, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diesel Road &#8211; north of Moore\u2019s Lane<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SW 3<sup>rd<\/sup>&nbsp;Avenue \u2013 north of SW 2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;Street<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SW 2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;Avenue \u2013 north of SW 2nd Street<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SE 6<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Avenue \u2013 north of SE 2nd Street<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday, January 19, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Royster Mine Road &#8211; south of State Road 60E<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bonnie Mine Road &#8211; south of State Road 60E<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Polk County Board of County Commissioners and County Manager\u2019s Office regret the disruption motorists can expect from this round of road closures by CSX.
