This construction project appears to be the final fix.

A spokesperson with the city said crews will be removing and replacing the tracks and repaving the crossing.

Speedvale Avenue will be closed between Edinburgh and Dawson roads.

Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians are asked to use alternate routes over the weekend.

The sidewalks on Speedvale Avenue and Edinburgh Road will remain open during construction, but pedestrians will not be able to pass over the tracks.
