Residents in Kibworth Beauchamp say the diversion will mean them walking for an extra 40 minutes.
A spokesperson for the rail company said options were being investigated.
One angry resident said on social media: "This is disgusting that Network Rail think this is acceptable.Another said: "This is unacceptable. So many people will be affected by this.District councillor Simon Whelband has suggested a temporary footbridge be installed."The diversion route they have suggested isn't great and we believe an alternative should be provided."A few years ago, they did similar work to another bridge, and put up a temporary bridge.
Another meeting with the company has since been arranged for local councillors and the area's MP, Conservative Neil O'Brien, to discuss the plans further.
