    I almost got screwed up here good thrusday night. Going couple days before it definitely wasn’t like this, and I don’t think there was any warning of it besides about 1/2 mile before US 421. If anyone goes thru please let me know if a truck detour was posted, because I swear I didn’t see it. Big sign said left lane closed, so I stayed right, then was forced to make a right, went south and got on a road next to the tracks and came back up. Really high crossing in 1 spot, I hope nobody else tried it and got stuck. Definitely wasn’t my proudest moment, I am highly curious though if there was truck detour signs showing the “official detour” I’d there was definitely didn’t stand out or give enough time to see them before approaching this. If anyone goes thru or did please let me know. I’d like to think im very attentive while driving stuff like this hurts the pride a little.

    Ah, fully closed for a bit now eh?

    Thats localish to me, i would have gone north us 421to us 6 to us 35.

    Edit, in 8 is closed in a spot too


    Looks like you tried to use county roads across some of the tracks, that was a bad idea, stick to state and us routes, way safer. (No judgement, ive been blindsided just as bad)
