Works will be undertaken on the Henty/Wimmera Highway level crossing at Dooen next week.

The Australian Rail Track Authority (ARTC) will be carrying out level crossing renewal works, which will require closing the crossing to traffic on Tuesday, 4 and Wednesday, 5 March, corresponding with the first two days of the Wimmera Machinery Field Days at the Longerenong Events Centre, south of Dooen.

The works are scheduled to take place between 5:00 am on Tuesday and 2:00 pm on Wednesday.

The Horsham Rural City Council will work with the ARTC to determine the most appropriate detour routes during these times.

Similar work will be carried out on the level crossing on Madden Street North in Kaniva and will also be renewed over two days the following week on Tuesday, 11 and Wednesday, 12 March.
