Union Pacific Railroad officials notified the city of New Braunfels that the railroad crossing at San Antonio Street will close April 26 for emergency repairs, according to a press release.

The closure is expected to last from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Traffic will be redirected to detour on Academy Avenue and Castell Avenue.



Union Pacific Railroad officials said in a statement to the city that the repairs are needed due to a failure in the rail structure underneath the tracks at that crossing.

The city is advising motorists to avoid the area and expect delays.
