A slowdown for campers and cottages returning home this holiday weekend.
Traffic is moving slowly this afternoon at the CN railroad crossing on Highway 34 between Vankleek Hill and Hawkesbury. The signals are flashing and bell ringing, but no train is crossing. An OPP officer is posted at the crossing and traffic occasionally moves slowly through. Be prepared for delays or find an alternate route.
