DARROW - A broken-down train blocked the tracks on Burnside Avenue in Ascension Parish Thursday morning.
The blockage happened at the railroad crossing on Highway 44 near River Road, blocking a major route to the Sunshine Bridge.
Drivers should expect additional delays as they are heading to the bridge on Highway 70.
As of 8:15 a.m., the train cleared the tracks and the road was passable once again.
