Those railway warning lights on the North Bay bypass near Seymour St. are getting an upgrade.
A total of $143,000 will go toward the lights at the railway crossing on Highway 17 in North Bay, converting them to LEDs. The project will also upgrade the advanced warning system to include constant warning time at the intersection.
“Funding for this project enhances the safety measures surrounding the railway crossing," says MPP Anthony Rota. "It is crucial that residents of Nipissing-Timiskaming are aware of the risks that are associated when there is a high volume of traffic on and around railways.”
Funding is through the Rail Safety Improvement Program.
