WABASH, IN — The City of Wabash will permanently close three railroad crossings on May 29, 2026. This infrastructure change directly follows the official opening of the new Railroad Overpass on Friday afternoon.
The permanent closures affect the following vehicle crossings:
• Huntington Street crossing
• Spring Street crossing
• Thorne Street crossing
Barricades and concrete barriers will be placed at these crossings in anticipation of the overpass opening. Permanent guardrails will be installed later to block these crossings. Drivers can use the new overpass for all north-south travel across the rail line. This transition eliminates train-related traffic delays and enhances safety for local motorists and pedestrians.
Drivers should begin using nearby crossings near these intersections to traverse the rail line. The city requests patience from residents during the first few weeks of this major transition.
Residents should also be aware that Maple Street will become one way westbound from East Street to Allen Street upon the opening of the Railroad Overpass. Again, please be patient during the change in traffic flow on this street.
