Closed since July 4th the crossing as well as the surrounding area has been upgraded to not only smooth out the crossing but also ensure proper drainage.

By ensuring proper drainage the problem plauged roadway is suppose to not need further repairs within a short timeframe.

The crossing and surrounding area had been repaired in the past in a way Mayor Fraser Tolmie described at a recent Council meeting as a bandaid solution requiring continual repair.

Tonight the City crew will be out painting lines on the roadway after which the road will be re-opened to traffic.
