**TRAFFIC ALERT**

All three BNSF grade crossings in Brookfield are blocked due to malfunctioning gates. BNSF is aware of the problem and is working on a fix, but we have no ETA at this time for when the crossings will reopen. Police are at the crossings to prevent vehicles from going around the gates.

Please avoid the Hollywood, Prairie and Maple Avenue crossings and use alternate routes.

We will update when the gates are functioning properly again.
