There is an emergency road closure on Route 236 in Berwick today to make repairs on the railroad tracks where they cross over the road. The full road closure affects Route 236 in Berwick and Main Street in South Berwick. (The blue line on the map below.)

Pan Am Railways recently got in touch with the Maine Department of Transportation to tell them that an inspection of the railroad tracks showed a serious problem that needed immediate attention.

The road will be closed from 9 a.m. today until the problem is fixed, possibly into the early morning hours on Wednesday.

A detour route will be set up and signs will direct drivers. It includes Route 4 Blackberry Hill Road and the Town Road.
