     Repairs by CSX at the rail crossing on Stow Street in Kent have been completed and the road is once again open to traffic.
     The work is part of the National Gateway project which aims to create a more efficient intermodal network by improving infrastructure to allow double-stack freight transport.
     In addition to having new track foundations laid and crossings improved, the Kent/Ravenna area will have extensive work done on local bridges as well.  These will include structures at Middlebury Road and in the Lake Street/Riverbend area.
     This work will consist of either raising the overpasses or lowering the rail lines to create the necessary clearance for double-stack transport.
