Stonington -- Amtrak has informed the town that the railroad crossing at Palmer Street in Pawcatuck will close to through traffic at 6 a.m. on Aug. 17 and tentatively reopen Aug. 31.

The temporary closure is due to construction needed to install upgraded signal and safety equipment. During the closure, vehicle traffic will be detoured around the area via Mechanic Street and Lester Avenue. Pedestrians will be allowed to pass over the crossing intermittently. Amtrak police will be stationed at the crossing.
