CN crews to repair 116th Street crossing after recent traffic collisions

It’s not exactly the train’s fault this time if you get stopped in traffic this weekend.

CN crews will be repairing and replacing the rail signals at the 116th Street Crossing between 89th and 95th Avenues after recent vehicle collisions damaged the crossing gates.

City officials say the work, which involves returning the gates to their correct positioning, is scheduled to continue throughout the weekend, with the goal of completing “as much as possible” before Monday morning.

Drivers are asked to use caution when approaching or driving through the area to ensure crews can work safely and efficiently.

Traffic impacts

As a result of the work, two of the four lanes- one in each direction, will be closed, flaggers will be on-site to direct traffic safely through the work zone; however, delays are expected and drivers are asked to slow down, follow instructions, and plan ahead in anticipation of potential delays.
