I have a NextJS project deployed on Railway.
The public networking section shows a check next to my domain name.
The DNS is setup for CNAME www.
Yet I cannot access the url.

Hello robert,
You cant directly connect a custom domain on railway if your dns provider is GoDaddy because go daddy has a cname flattening somethinh something issue (cant exactly remember).
What i do is i will create a cloudflare account then i will change the nameservers on godaddy to point to cloudflare's nameservers.
Then finally add the CNAME record on cloudflare, that should fix your problem
Check this: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/setting-up-my-cloudflare-dns-from-godaddy/54597
And this https://docs.railway.com/guides/public-networking#custom-domains
NOTE: there is something about disabling forwarding or such that happens at times, if you face an issue where if you visit the site after its connected it keeps redirecting let me know
