SALT LAKE CITY — Technical issues delayed north and southbound Frontrunner trains on Tuesday, according to Utah Transit Authority.
Delays began Monday evening about 5 p.m. and by 8 p.m. trains were seeing delays of up to one hour. As of 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, all issues had been resolved, UTA said.
TRAX lines were also delayed and a bus bridge from the Ballpark station to City Creek was in place as of 6:17 p.m. Tuesday because of a disabled train at the Gallivan station, UTA officials said on Twitter.
#Rider Alert Part 2: Due to these issues on the Frontrunner rails, the trains have to hold and travel slower for safety reasons. Again, we apologize for the long delays.

The bus bridge was for Blue and Green lines — Red lines were able to drive through the area with delays.
Malfunctioning crossing arms required a crossing protection to be in place at 10800 South, UTA officials said.
