Emergency repairs to close Otranto Blvd. this week, report

North Charleston, South Carolina – Due to emergency repairs at the railroad crossing, crews will temporarily close Otranto Blvd. this week.

The closure is starting from 8:30 a.m. Thursday and will affect entering and leaving the Otranto subdivision and the surrounding area.

The emergency repair was scheduled due to multiple complaints from the community in the past period.

The total road closure will take place along Otranto Blvd. between Rivers Avenue and North Basilica Avenue, meaning there will be no access across the tracks until the crossing is reopened.

The closure is expected to last no more than 24h. The opening of the street is expected Friday 8 a.m.

All drivers are asked to avoid this area in the meantime.
