Gate problems at several FEC railroad crossings in Boca Raton continued into the evening rush hour on Wednesday, Oct. 28, frustrating drivers who said traffic had not cleared.
Boca Raton police earlier in the afternoon reported malfunctions at four locations: Glades Road and North Dixie Highway, Dixie Highway and Palmetto Park Road, Dixie Highway at Northwest 2nd Street, and Dixie Highway at Northwest 20th Street. Authorities said the problems should have been fixed well before 6 p.m., but BocaNewsNow.com reported that they had not.
The crossings were not closed because of a crash or other major incident, according to the report. The gates were not working.
The outlet said it had received multiple calls, tips and messages from motorists. Drivers who use Dixie Highway during the evening commute should expect delays until the gates are back in service and the backups clear.
