West Lake Street in Ft. Collins, Colo., will be closed to all traffic at the BNSF railroad tracks west of College Avenue for track repairs and improvements, the Coloradoan reports. The work is scheduled to begin Sept. 28 and continue through Oct. 5, weather permitting. A detour route will be provided to direct through traffic to use College Avenue and Centre Avenue.
The project will install
fully automated railroad signals and gates and replace the existing timber
