In 2023, the road crossing was closed to through traffic. The mainline was moved slightly to the east in preparation for the UP Springfield Sub to be relocated along the NS.
In 2024, the crossing was reopened, but now only serving as a pedestrian crossing. New Siemens signals were installed in process.
