Rail crossings in East Biloxi will be closing soon. Here are the details from their press release:
The city's years-long plan to close rail crossings in East Biloxi will take a major step next week when crossings at Dorries and Nixon streets will permanently close as a new connector road parallel to the CSX railway nears completion.
The crossings will close Monday, a week from today.
The city's plan is to eventually close as many as six of the 21 crossings in the two-mile stretch between Keesler and Point Cadet. In all, there are 29 rail crossings in the eight miles of railway in Biloxi.
