by The Regional Municipality says the newly named Crawford Crossing is now open to traffic.
The road meets up with Lingan Road at the Sydney Ports Access Road intersection where work on traffic signals was completed today.
The road is named after the late Carl (Campy) Crawford, who became the first black municipal police officer east of Montréal when he joined the Sydney police in 1964.
The road was designed and built in 2013 as part of a large-scale remediation project.
The municipality says it’s worked closely with federal and provincial officials and railroad owners to make sure the road could open safely.
