Traffic Alert: Temporary Closure of Lake Zurich Road on Monday ⚠️
Last Thursday, the Canadian National Railway (CN) delivered a large amount of stone via a specialized train. There was a mechanical issue that prevented CN from finishing the delivery. The CN train is anticipated to return tomorrow, June 30, to deliver the remaining stone that will serve as the base for the new railroad ties and track.
During this time, Lake Zurich Road will once again be temporarily closed at the CN tracks while the stone is unloaded from the train cars. The roadway will reopen as soon as the work is complete.
