Mount Clemens Sub Repairs?

[blueheron13]

Just received this email from MDOT:

Emergency railroad repair is closing EB 8 Mile (M-102) at Hoover Rd within the hour and is expected to remain closed through Friday afternoon.
EB 8 Mile traffic will be detoured to NB Hoover to EB 9 Mile to SB Groesbeck (M-97) to EB 8 Mile Rd.
Drivers may want to use another ‘Mile’ road to avoid the closure and expected delays.

Any idea what is happening on the Mount Clemens Sub?

I don't know the answer to your question, but...it wouldn't be all that surprising if a snow plow either got stuck on the crossing, or otherwise messed up the crossing somehow, especially if it was a rough crossing to start with.

Emergency rail change in the middle of the crossing due to a serious rail defect. Half of the deck had to be removed and then they were able to remove and replace the defective rail.
