By March 2019, both track signs were replaced, the DOT signs on the median signals were turned forward, new DOT tags were added to the shoulder signals, and one of the LEDs on the southern shoulder signal was replaced. However, by this time, work was underway to replace two of the signals.

Updates to the existing signals. |
A new southern median signal is going in. |
Also a new southern shoulder signal was being installed. |
The reason for all this work was because the yard tracks that were in the crossing were removed. The road had been repaved by this point, but the southern signals had yet to be moved closer to the mainline, and CN just decided to replace those signals for some reason instead of just moving them. |

As of March 10th, the southern shoulder signal was erected and would soon be activated. |
By March 13th, the new southern signals were activated and the old ones were removed.
