COALHURST, AB – Work on a southern Alberta railway crossing will result in a change of travel to and from Coalhurst on Thursday, November 16, 2023.

The railway crossing will be closed between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., pending completion of the project.

Officials said there will be alternate accesses to Coalhurst still open, including:

• The Kipp overpass on Highway 3, then south on Range Road 224 (2nd Street)
• Highway 25, then east on Township Road 92 and north on Range Road 223 through to 45 Avenue or 55 Avenue
