The crossing gates at the Bridge Street railroad crossing in New Milford are not operational. The train company has put in place a 'Stop and Protect" protocol for that section of track, meaning they stop the train at the intersection, a flagger exits the train, stops traffic, and then the train proceeds through the intersection.  Drivers are being urged to be vigilant when in this area of Bridge Street. Railroad officials say the repair should be completed in the next couple of days.
