Effective Monday, Monroe Street in downtown Springfield will be permanently closed at the 10th Street tracks.
Vehicles will still have access to any businesses on Monroe between 9th and 11th, but will no longer be able to cross the tracks. The closure is part of the railroad relocation project and the development of the new multi-modal transportation hub.
A walkway to allow pedestrians to get from one side of the tracks to the other will be built in 2023.
