Sussex — The Canadian National Railroad will close its crossing on Highway 74 at 7 a.m Monday for two weeks while it installs new signals and track rail. The posted detour route will run south on Town Line Road to Silver Spring Road.
Trains will be held for about six hours each day while the railroad works on the project.
According to a press release from Jeanne Marchant, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation construction project engineer, train traffic will be heavy afterward, and motorists might encounter long delays at the Silver Spring crossing. Message boards will advise motorists heading north into Sussex to use Lisbon Road (Highway K) instead.
The department began concrete paving Highway 74’s roadway, curbs, gutters, sidewalk and driveway aprons July 8. Access might be limited until the work is completed, the release said.
