CN Railway's pedestrian gate installatio | Village of Barrington
Last year, the Village shared that the Canadian National Railway (CN) plans to install pedestrian gates at the Main Street crossing, just east of Barrington High School. Although construction was delayed due to material backorders, the Village was recently informed that the necessary materials are expected to arrive early this year.
After coordinating with the CN team, the Village has received preliminary confirmation that most of the construction will take place between March 21 and March 30, coinciding with District 220’s spring break. This timing is intended to minimize traffic disruptions. As the construction dates approach, CN will provide more details and confirm the schedule, which the Village will then share with the community.
At the same time, the Village is reviewing statements of qualifications from engineering firms for the preliminary design of a pedestrian underpass at Main Street and the CN tracks. This work is particularly important as it connects the Village Center and Barrington High School and is a crossing used daily by many students.
