DUBUQUE, Iowa — The railroad crossing at 1234 Massey Marina Ln, situated just off Massey Station Rd, is scheduled for temporary closure due to construction commencing on Monday, July 7, 2025, at 4:00 AM. This closure will remain in effect until Tuesday, July 8, 2025, at 12:00 PM, impacting a 450-foot segment of the roadway.
The purpose of this construction project is to enhance the infrastructure at the railroad crossing, thereby ensuring safer and more dependable passage for vehicles and trains. Local authorities have indicated that while the road will be open during non-closure hours, drivers should anticipate delays and consider alternate routes during the specified timeframe.
Massey Marina Ln, adjacent to the Massey Marina & Park Campground, serves as a vital access route for local residents and visitors alike. The area is frequently subject to intense train activity, with trains often sounding their horns at the crossing, especially in the early morning hours.
Motorists are strongly advised to adhere to posted detour signs and refrain from crossing the tracks during the closure. Those heading to the marina or campground can utilize alternative routes via nearby thoroughfares, such as Massey Station Rd, to avoid the construction area.
For more details or to report any issues related to the closure, residents are encouraged to contact local officials or the Dubuque County maintenance office. The project is anticipated to be completed on schedule, barring any weather-related complications or other unforeseen delays.
