BACKGROUND
Background
The North Carolina Railroad Company, in partnership with Norfolk Southern, is replacing up to 69 miles of aging rail between Greensboro and Raleigh as part of the Carolinian Piedmont Passenger and Freight Improvements project. Work is expected to reach Guilford County in September and will require temporary closures of multiple railroad crossings, with the greatest local impacts currently anticipated during the mid to late September. Staff will provide an overview of the project and the County’s coordination with public safety agencies, local governments, and other partners to address emergency response, access, and resident communications during the closures.
