Charlotte, N.C. – There is an issue along the LYNX Blue Line Extension that has caused all of the gate arms at BLE rail crossings to engage and remain lowered.
CATS staff is working with the Charlotte Department of Transportation and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department to resolve the issue and raise gates so traffic can flow safely and freely.
