It will be a minor inconvenience for most as the 3rd St NE railway crossing will be closed on Wednesday for repairs. As long as things go as planned, the crossing will be closed between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. With only a few ways to get across the tracks in the community, hundreds of vehicles use the crossing every day.

There are several other options to cross over the tracks in the city with the closest being just a few streets away at the Tupper St. overpass.
