Canadian Pacific operates a freight transportation system serving the Twin Cities area. Canadian Pacific's tracks cross CSAH 92 roughly one-third mile south of Trunk Highway 55. This crossing has deteriorated and needs to be replaced.

Funding for the project is available in CP 2210400 - Pavement Rehabilitation Program 2022 - 2026, with expenditures tracked in subproject CP 2210408 - 2025 Rehab - CSAH 92.
