North Shore Drive Closure at Railroad Crossing for Replacement

Beginning at 5:00 am on Monday, August 3, North Shore Drive will close at the railroad crossing on the curve where North Shore Drive transitions to Proudfit Street. The closure is necessary to allow Wisconsin & Southern Railroad to replace the railroad crossing.

The work is expected to be completed and the street reopened by 6:00 am on Friday, August 7.

The bike path and sidewalks at the crossing will also close during this work. Bicyclists and pedestrians will be detoured via West Main Street and the Southwest Path.

To minimize impacts to the traveling public, this work has been scheduled while the existing closure of North Shore Drive at John Nolen Drive remains in place.
