The federal government has announced dozens of projects to make rail crossings safer.
It includes upgrades to a crossing in the Rainy River district.
Transport Minister Rob Merrifield says these improvements will help save lives.
"The investment that the government is making really there to continue the downward trend of accidents and derailments and injuries right across the country," says Merrifield, "particularly in those communities where we are investing."
Thirty-five thousand dollars spent on a crossing at Paquette Road in the township of Dawson will include construction of an access road in conjunction with the crossing's closure.
