Detour needed for railway work in Vernon

Motorists using 37th Avenue in Vernon near the train tracks may have to take a slight detour over the next couple weeks.

The city says crews will be installing new curbs and sidewalks near the railway crossing to improve pedestrian, vehicle and rail safety.

“Starting as early as Monday, March 21, the railway crossing will be closed to traffic between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. daily. The work is expected to be complete by Friday, April 1,” a city news release stated.

Local detours and signage will be in place, and access to businesses in the area will be maintained throughout construction.
