Railway crossings to be temporarily closed for necessary maintenance by CN Rail on April 22

CN Rail is requiring the Town to temporarily close three railway crossings to carry out necessary rail repairs. The railway crossings will be closed starting Tuesday, April 22 at 6:00 a.m. The work is scheduled to be completed by Tuesday, April 29 at 5:00 p.m.

Required repairs include the replacement of damaged rail and track ties, replacement of track ballast, and installation of planking on railway crossings at the following locations:

• James St. S
• Elgin St. E
• Elizabeth St.

A detour will be set up along Huron St. S. and Elizabeth St., as well as along King St. with signage in place to guide vehicles. Travelers are advised to expect delays during the temporary closure and to plan accordingly.

VIA rail will not be impacted by the temporary closures, but it may cause some delays due to reduced track speeds in the area.
