(KNZA)--Citing safety reasons, the Brown County Commission plans to permanently close and barricade a portion of a county road that lies over two railroad crossings.
The County Commission Monday reviewed a notice that will be published setting a public hearing for December 27th at 9:00 in the morning in the Commissioner’s room on the proposed closure of a portion of Kingfisher Road, north of 250th Road.
Both the county and Union Pacific Railroad are seeking the closure.
Commissioner Steve Roberts says with the increase in train traffic and train speeds there are safety concerns at the crossings, which don't contain warning devices.
Roberts says adjacent property owners will still have access to their property.
