Expect delays at the intersection of Government Street and Carmi Avenue starting Saturday, Feb. 21, as crews begin upgrading traffic lights to add new left-turn signals.
These upgrades will improve safety and traffic flow at this busy intersection, especially for vehicles turning left off Government onto Carmi in either direction.
To complete this work safely, traffic signals will be temporarily shut down intermittently, with traffic control personnel on-site to manage traffic and direct vehicles safely through the work zone.
Drivers are encouraged to avoid the intersection if possible. Anyone passing through the area is reminded to slow down, follow the directions of traffic control personnel and/or on-site traffic light devices, and plan for extra time.
Work begins Saturday and will continue on Wednesday, Feb. 25, until early March.
