The Mosher Avenue railroad crossing near downtown Roseburg will close for five days starting Monday so the crossing can be rebuilt later this month.

A City of Roseburg release said the crossing, between Spruce and Sheridan streets, is used to access Templin Beach Park, Happy Trails Dog Park and Micelli Park. It will be closed around the clock from 7:00 a.m. August 22nd until 7:00 p.m. Friday August 26th.

Detours will be set up to direct traffic around the closure.

Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad will reconstruct the existing railroad crossing with a new foundation, track ballast or bed, and railroad ties. The project will include improvements to the pedestrian crossing path.
