The first major road closure is on Main Street North at the intersection of Town and Country Drive.

The roadway as well as the sidewalk is closed for approximately ten days to allow the repair of the CN rail crossing.

The crossing has been a major concern for motorists for years as it has been the location of continual repairs.

The City is not just repaving the roadway but additionally they are fixing drainage and catch basins in the area to hopefully effect a long term solution.
