Cedar Lane/MD 513 to Close for Railroad Crossing Repairs

SALISBURY, Md. – The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) State Highway Administration will be closing a portion of MD 513, also known as Cedar Lane, for railroad crossing maintenance starting Friday.

Cedar Lane will be closed between U.S. 13 and Prosperity Lane, starting at 7:00 a.m. on Oct. 24. Amtrac Railroad Contractors of Maryland will be working on the railroad tracks, and is expected to complete the work by Tuesday, Oct. 28, weather permitting. 

During maintenance, no vehicular traffic will be permitted to cross the railroad tracks. Subsequently, drivers will be advised by signage to utilize Route 13 Business, College Avenue, Snow Hill Road, and the Bypass to detour around the closure. Detour signage will be posted in advance and throughout the duration of the closure to guide traffic.

“This project reflects the ongoing collaboration between Salisbury, Fruitland, the Maryland State Highway Administration, and the railroad to ensure safe and efficient transportation infrastructure for our residents,” said Mayor Randy Taylor. “We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as this important work is completed. The City is happy to accommodate these upgrades to local infrastructure by facilitating detours through the City.”
