Estimated Timeframe: June 18 - 22, 2025, 24 hours/day
Type: Temporary Closure
The intersection of Rio Bravo Boulevard and Second Street SE will be closed from June 18 through June 22 to allow construction crews to complete a significant upgrade to the railroad crossing, as part of the Rio Bravo and Second Street Intersection Project.
During this closure, the existing railroad crossing will be replaced with a newly constructed and widened crossing designed to accommodate the expanded six-lane roadway. Due to the scope of the work, construction will take place 24 hours a day throughout the closure period. Motorists will be advised to seek alternate routes. A detour will be in place, directing traffic from Second Street to Woodward Road, which transitions into Sunport Boulevard east of Broadway.
This railroad crossing upgrade is part of a larger infrastructure improvement project that began in January. The overall project is aimed at improving traffic flow and safety by adding an additional lane in each direction along Rio Bravo—from Barr Canal to east of Second Street—and upgrading the associated railroad infrastructure. It complements a separate county initiative that recently expanded Rio Bravo from Second Street to Prince Street, increasing capacity to six lanes. Once complete, the project will support smoother, more efficient travel for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians throughout the corridor.
