Linton Blvd. railroad crossing closed until at least Aug. 22

Delray Beach resident Rick Leffel said he knew about the detour in advance and that he’s made plans for an alternate route via north Congress Avenue.

“I’ve seen the signs up for over a month now letting motorists know about the closing,” Leffel said.

Leffel normally takes Linton Boulevard to work. He’s a business man in the southeast portion of Delray Beach just east of the Linton Boulevard exit at I-95.

“I saw the warning signs so I’ve planned my commute over the next week that the road will be closed,” Leffel said.

For more information on the detours, please call Marlin Engineering, Inc. and spokesperson German Sanchez at 305-477-7575.
