The St. Andrew Street and Vidal Street intersection will remain closed at the railroad tracks over the weekend.

Repairs are still needed following a minor derailment early Wednesday morning.

Nine tank cars left the track at around 4 a.m. resulting in damage to the tracks in the area.

City Emergency Management Coordinator Ron Realesmith said repairs are ongoing.
