Norfolk Southern will begin replacing railways that will close the crossing from Boynton Boulevard to Marie Foster Street potentially for the entire day, said an announcement from Selma Mayor James Perkins Jr. 

The closing may be extended for longer. Perkins recommended alternative routes for travel north and south of the city to be Medical Center Parkway or the Bypass. 

"We apologize for the short notice and inconvenience," Perkins said. "However, once the rails are replaced and the crossings paved, we will have a smoother and safer crossing of railways here in Selma."
