Tue, 13 Jul 2010 02:16:00 GMT

The traffic signal controller and cabinet are being replaced tomorrow Tuesday July 13th at the intersection of Kent Des Moines Road and 24^th/25^th Ave S. The existing signal cabinet and controller equipment is over 25 years old and in need of replacement.

The change out process will begin at 9:00 AM, and will take several hours to complete. During some of this time the intersection will be dark, with no traffic signal indications, and traffic will be controlled through the intersection with flaggers and at times a police officer. Motorist’s should expect significant delays and alternate routes are recommended.

Once the new controller and cabinet have been reinstalled, signal maintenance crews will be spending time fine tuning the intersection control equipment. Our hope is to have the change-out completed before the afternoon commute.
