STUART, Fla. —All Aboard Florida has agreed to a requirement by the state to spend additional millions for safety upgrades at 57 grade crossings between West Palm Beach and northern St. Lucie County.
The upgrades will include so called “sealed corridors” which include four-quadrant gates and concrete medians to prevent drivers from going around the gate arms.
“The Florida Department of Transportation is requiring All Aboard Florida to have a sealed corridor with speeds over 79 mph north of West Palm Beach,” said Dick Kane of The Florida Transportation Department, in a statement.
“All Aboard Florida has agreed to take those safety measures.”
