3 Gaithersburg railroad crossings to close for CSX maintenance this month


Three CSX Metropolitan Branch railroad crossings will close on a staggered schedule this month so the railroad can perform necessary maintenance work. The closures will begin this weekend with the Metropolitan Grove crossing tomorrow, March 20, 2021. It will be closed two-to-three days for the work.

Two other crossings will close for the same amount of time after that. The Summit Avenue crossing will close on March 25, and the Chestnut Street crossing on March 29. All of these dates could shift for reasons ranging from weather to railroad operations.

Watch for barricades and detours during the closures. There will be no disruption to Amtrak or MARC service during the closures. The Metropolitan Branch is part of an Amtrak and CSX route between Washington, D.C. and Chicago, via Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
