WAYZATA, MN – Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) has commenced repair work on the railroad crossing situated at the intersection of Lake Street and Arlington Circle. The scheduled maintenance is expected to span over the next couple of days.
Residents of Wayzata can anticipate the completion of the crossing repairs within the next couple of days. Following the conclusion of these essential repairs, a designated quiet zone will be established, providing relief to residents from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. each night. This measure aims to enhance the quality of sleep for Wayzata residents in all directions.
Reflecting on recent disturbances, a Wayzata resident shared an experience of a train passing through around 3:30 a.m. a few nights ago. The implementation of the quiet zone is poised to bring an end to such disruptions, offering a more tranquil nighttime environment for the community.
During the closure period, the City of Wayzata suggests utilizing the following detour route: take Highway 101 to Wayzata Boulevard, and proceed to Superior Boulevard. This detour is recommended to ease traffic flow and minimize inconvenience for motorists during the railroad crossing repairs.
As the repair work progresses, residents are encouraged to stay informed about any updates or changes in the schedule.
