🚨TRAFFIC ALERT🚨

The railroad crossing on Spring St just west of Airline Rd is currently malfunctioning and will not go down for a passing train. Union Pacific has been notified and they’re working diligently to fix the issue.

Trains will be traveling slower than expected in the area and will make a complete stop before crossing Spring St. Please drive safely and yield for the train. Also note this may cause traffic delays in area railway crossings during these times due to slower train speeds.
