17th Avenue Railroad Crossing Arm and Sidewalk Upgrades

This fall the RCPE Railroad will install new crossing arms. Once those are complete, the City's contractor will begin work on the new sidewalk. The work is expected to begin in October. 

Route/Detour Information

Two-way traffic will be maintained during construction but driving lanes will be narrowed to allow room for the contractor to work.
