Ohio Central Railroad

Start Date: Q3 2010 Estimated Completion: Q4 2010

Lower Tracks

CSX will lower the tracks under the Ohio Central Railroad Bridge in the borough of McKees Rocks. A temporary track, west of the existing tracks, will be constructed to maintain two operational tracks during construction. All work will be completed within CSXT right-of-way, and will have little or no impact on the adjacent property owners.
