The City of Deerfield Beach Environmental Services team would like to advise residents that Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) is scheduled to perform construction on the railroad crossing located on NE 2nd (Eller) St under the Dixie Highway overpass. Brightline is in receipt of a Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvement (CRISI) Program grant from the Federal Railroad Administration. This program funds projects that improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of intercity passenger and freight rail. The location funded in the city is located at the FEC railroad crossing on NE 2nd Avenue and NE 2nd Street (Eller St). The scope of work at this intersection includes the installation of median islands to reduce the occurrence of drivers who bypass lowered gates, this treatment has proven highly effective in preventing death and injury.
