Gates on downtown pedestrian underpass installed, nightly closures begin Monday

Medicine Hat – The security gates on Medicine Hat’s downtown pedestrian underpass are now in place and will be locked for the first time at 11 p.m. on Monday, September 4, 2023.

The underpass that connects South Railway Street SE and North Railway Street SE under the railyard will be closed nightly from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. to prevent unintended consequences from misuse of the infrastructure.

Pedestrians are able to use the sidewalk along First Street SE as an alternate route to safely cross the railyard during the hours the underpass is closed.
