Salisbury Public Works, in a joint effort with Norfolk Southern Railroad has removed an abandoned railroad track on North Division St. between Baltimore Ave. & Wilson St., which was completed this morning. Norfolk Southern initially was going to do a repair to the remaining track, however the track was in worse condition than they thought. They are in Harrington, DE getting a new rail which will be repaired before the end of the day, June 8, 2010. Due to this problem, Salisbury Public Works is doubtful in replacing the blacktop today. SPW will fill with stone dust and blacktop this week using one lane traffic for vehicles. When blacktopped this will be a very improved surface with no need for any repair in the near future. SPW is working with Norfolk Southern to make improvements to three additional locations this summer:
Lemmon Hill Lane & Mill Street
Church Street & Railroad Ave
Isabella Street & Railroad Avenue
“The citizens of Salisbury, and all those who travel along N. Division St. welcome this partnership with Norfolk Southern Railroad. Those of us who drive the street daily appreciate the upgrades to the street and the work currently being done to improve the surface.” Mayor Ireton said.

FINALLY!!!
What about the tracks crossing Goddard parkway?
Just like the stone dust on Sharen Drive? That has been bad for months. Half he road will tear your car up.
How about the traffic mess on North Business 13 business vicinity of Kay Avenue. The State has this all messed. The cheap contractor had wrong signs up and then the excavator backed into my side of the road earlier this week. Crush in run on a main highway. Go see it for yourself.
