Transport Canada will provide $120,000 to help fund the closure of six grade crossings in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

The agency will contribute $100,000 to close three crossings in Swift Current, one in Hubbard and one in Vanscoy, Saskatchewan; and $20,000 to close one crossing in Beaver County, Alberta.

Transport Canada works with railroads and communities to identify crossings that require safety improvements. Under the agency’s Grade Crossing Closure Program, Transport Canada also works with the parties to assess crossing closures based on such factors as traffic volume and accident history.
