Work on Community Road will take place Thursday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The closure will start immediately north of Arnold Street. According to the municipality, access to properties on Community Road, Arnold Street and Jackson Street south of the railway crossing will be maintained at all times via Base Line.
