Lauren Cooper+FollowSpringfield Ave rail repairs: What to expectHeads up, Champaign drivers—if you usually take Springfield Avenue eastbound between Duncan Road and Ginger Bend Drive, you’ll need to plan a new route for a bit. Canadian National is doing emergency rail repairs, and only the eastbound lane is closed (westbound is still open). The work is expected to wrap up by 5 p.m. on November 19, so it’s a short-term hassle, but it could definitely shake up your daily commute. How’s everyone handling the detour? Any tips for getting around easier? #Transportation #ChampaignIL #SpringfieldAve00Share
