Two-day road closures announced at two railroad crossings

The CN Railroad will be completing work on two separate railroad crossings in mid-July. Each will result in a two-day road closure.

 

The first closure will be on Maple Grove Road just east of Munger Shaw Road on Thursday-Friday, July 10-11. The second closure will be on the St. Louis River Road just west of Ikola Road on Monday-Tuesday, July 14-15. In both instances, the roads will be closed at 6 a.m. on the first day and re-opened by the end of the second day.

 

Due to the relative briefness of the closings, no detour routes are being established.
