This will require the existing traffic signals to be turned off while the new signal lights are activated. Drivers should treat the intersection as a four-way stop. Traffic controls will be in place to alert motorists of the planned work. To minimize traffic impacts, work is scheduled to take place between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Heavy traffic is anticipated during the lunchtime hours and drivers are encouraged to avoid the intersection if possible.
