Construction work at two railroad crossings will close the Amity Street entrance to The Waterfront shopping complex in Homestead next week.
CSX and Norfolk Southern will install new sections of rail panel and resurface the crossings with concrete and asphalt to smooth the ride for motorists, said Sean Campbell, general manager of CAMSCO Service Inc., which is managing the work zone.
The street will be closed at East Sixth Avenue starting at 9 a.m. Monday. It is scheduled to reopen by 9 p.m. Friday, Mr. Campbell said.
Mayor Betty Esper arranged to have the project start after Mother's Day, she said, so shoppers buying gifts or taking their moms to dinner would not be inconvenienced.
Shoppers can reach The Waterfront via its two other entrances, from the Homestead Grays Bridge and Route 837 at East Waterfront Drive.
