Huff Railroad Crossing Closure Update - November 7th and 8th
2024-11-07 06:00 - 2024-11-08 06:30 | Huff – West Wheatfield Township, Huff, PA, 15944
Here is the latest press release on the Huff railroad crossing closure.

Have you been confused by the railroad crossing closure dates? The newspaper says one thing and the sign by the crossing says another. The last few days I’ve been chatting with the PennDOT District 10 Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program Coordinator. I’d sent him the picture of the sign in Huff and that differed from their schedule. He reached out to the railroad for an update. He got back to me today and said it looks like the new dates will be November 6th and 7th. He said the railroad should be placing an updated sign at the crossing two weeks prior to the actual work. He said he’d keep me informed of any changes. Hope this helps all.

The following is a partial excerpt from the Indiana Gazette newspaper that was published on September 11th by Patrick Cloonan. This posting only contains the information on the Huff closure. There is a second closure in South Bend Township, Armstrong County. The article says the Huff railroad crossing will only be closed for about 24 hours. Let’s hope that’s true. For those who aren’t sure where this is at, it’s the railroad crossing just north of the bridge coming out of New Florence on the way to the power plant or Rt. 22.
Railroad crossing work slated later this month in two area townships
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation in White Township-based District 10 is scheduling two upcoming events involving railroad crossings, in West Wheatfield and Armstrong townships.
PennDOT said there will be a closure on Huff Road (state Route 2009) in West Wheatfield Township as JMG Global performs railroad crossing work beginning Sept. 26 at 6 a.m. through Sept. 27 at 6:30 a.m.
The detour for the Huff Road closure is as follows:

On the north side of the railroad tracks it will be to travel north on Huff Road and turn west onto Power Plant Road (Route 2008), turn right onto Mulligan Hill Road (Route 2011) then left onto state Route 259 south.

One will then continue into Westmoreland County through Bolivar and turn left onto Creek Road (Route 1006), turn left onto state Route 711 and continue into New Florence.
After that, continue straight onto Ligonier Street (Route 1001) back into Indiana County on Huff Road (Route 2009).

On the south side of the railroad tracks the detour will be to travel south on Huff Road (Route 2009), continue into Westmoreland County on Ligonier Street (Route 1001), then continue straight onto state Route 711. Turn right onto Creek Road (Route 1006) and continue to Route 259.

One then turns right on Route 259 and travels through Bolivar into Indiana County, and then through Robinson and turning right onto Mulligan Hill Road (Route 2011), turning left onto Power Plant Road (Route 2008) and then turning right on Huff Road (Route 2009).
The remainder of the article deals with the other railroad crossing closure.
