Those who regularly travel along 8th Street North West in Portage la Prairie may have to rethink their route. Upgrades are currently taking place at the south side railway crossing, in order to smooth out the road in the area.

The crossing was closed to traffic this morning, and opened once again this afternoon. However, crews will be back on site tomorrow morning at nine o'clock to continue their work. While Today's closure only lasted for a few hours, crews will keep the crossing closed until the work is complete tomorrow.
