The CN Railroad will complete work on two separate railroad crossings in mid-July in St. Louis County, each resulting in a two-day road closure.
The first closure will be on Maple Grove Road just east of Munger Shaw Road on Thursday and Friday, July 10-11.
The second closure will be on the St. Louis River Road just west of Ikola Road on Monday and Tuesday, July 14-15.
In both instances, the roads will be closed at 6 a.m. on the first day and reopened by the end of the second day.
Due to the relative briefness of the closings, the county says no detour routes are being established.
