Overnight rail line replacement to result in detours and transit impacts

The City of Grande Prairie is advising residents of a road closure that will affect traffic flow in the area between Resources Road and 92nd Street.

According to the city, CN is set to replace a defective section of track at the rail crossing on 68th Avenue.

In an effort to minimize traffic disruption and protect workers, all lanes eastbound and westbound will be closed overnight from October 23rd into the early hours of October 24th. The city says the closure is scheduled during nighttime hours to minimize disruption.

The city maintains that variable message boards have been installed to alert commuters in advance of the planned closure and upcoming detours.

During the project, pedestrians will be accommodated through the area; however, they are advised to use caution due to uneven surfaces. Transit Route 9 will also be detoured during this time.

The project is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. on October 23rd with an estimated completion anticipated for 7:00 a.m. the next day.
