en.Wedoany.com Reported - The City of Boca Raton, Florida has received a $2 million federal grant to construct a new public grade crossing on Northeast Jeffery Street.
The project will extend the connection of Northwest Second Avenue to Federal Highway/US-1, building a new road across the Florida East Coast Railway corridor, restoring access between communities, and increasing travel options for residents, businesses, and emergency responders.
The existing NW 28th Street railroad crossing will be closed as a result. Construction is scheduled to begin in fall 2026 and be completed in 2027, encompassing road extension and widening, new grade crossing construction, intersection improvements, signal system upgrades, sidewalks, drainage, lighting, signage, and other safety facilities.
The project is part of the Municipal Capital Improvement Plan and is being coordinated with the Florida Department of Transportation and the Florida East Coast Railway. Federal funding comes from Congressional Community Project grants.
