Union Pacific has closed the railway crossing at Shobe and Brookwood, impacting bus drop off this afternoon (Wednesday, Nov 13) and both morning and afternoon routes tomorrow. Bus routes impacted include 133, 3, 123, 41, 42, 111, 113, and 31.
The closure will most likely delay buses as they have to find alternate routes. Students will still be picked up and dropped off at their normal locations, but may be a bit later than normal.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.
