CN will be installing new overhead signal masts and signals on the recently installed poles at the 108th Avenue rail crossing on September 30th.
The project will result in temporary detours for drivers and bus users. The city suggests variable message boards will be displayed in advance to help guide traffic and the work is expected to take one day depending on the weather.
Drivers heading eastbound are asked to detour at 98th Street, heading south to 99th Avenue or continuing north to 116th Avenue. Drivers heading westbound are asked to detour at 96th Street before heading south to 100th Avenue or continuing north to 116th Avenue.
When it comes to transit, Route 7 will be detoured along 99th Street between 116th Avenue and 108th Avenue. Stops 748, 750, 752, 754, and 756 will be inaccessible during the project. Passengers are instead asked to use Stop 758 or the Prairie Mall route.
Officials maintain that pedestrian access will remain open.
