Railroad Crossing Work Continues in Valparaiso

Work on Canadian National railroad crossings continues in Valparaiso, requiring short-term closures  and detours as upgrades continue. “We continue to work closely with Canadian National to facilitate  projects that improve crossings for motorists,” said Engineering Director Mike Jabo. This week  Canadian National is completing work on the crossing at Roosevelt Road, upgrading it to a higher level  with a rubber surface, said Jabo. 

In order to maintain their tracks through the City, Canadian National will close the crossing at Lafayette  Street for several weeks in order to move equipment along the track. “The next crossing upgrades will  be at Silhavy Road and Yellowstone Road. We look forward to seeing those completed this summer  and we will work with Canadian National to expedite the process and minimize closures,” said Jabo.  

Closures will be announced as Canadian National commits to dates, based on contractor availability as  well as weather. Detours will be marked.
