Rail crossing repairs postponed at intersection of Highways 7 and 101
Scheduled maintenance work has
been postponed a week on the railroad crossing at the intersection Highway 7
and Highway 101 west of Eveleth. This means the intersection, which previously
was scheduled to close today, is open.
The three day project instead
will take place next week, affecting the intersection from December 5-7. The CN
Railroad is replacing the crossing surface. The work had to be delayed because
of unforeseen scheduling conflicts with other track projects.
During the project next week,
vehicles traveling north or south on Highway 7 will be able to make a right
turn only at the intersection. These vehicles will not be able to go through or
make a left turn. Meanwhile, the intersection will be completely closed to
vehicles traveling east and west on Highway 101.
A detour will be posted for
traffic on Highway 7. Drivers should use an alternate route during the
closure.
