UPDATE: Apalachee Parkway reopens after repairs to railway overpass

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - Apalachee Parkway from Calhoun Street to Broward Street and Myers Park Drive in Tallahassee has been opened to traffic earlier than expected.

Additional repairs will require future lane restrictions and possible overnight lane closures to complete repairs on the Railroad bridge over Apalachee Parkway.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - A portion of Apalachee Parkway from Calhoun Street to Broward Street will be closed from Thursday, November 17 at 5 a.m. until Tuesday, November 22 at 5 a.m.

Crews have posted detour signs to help drivers navigate the construction.

The driver of that truck was seriously injured as a result of the crash.
