Traffic at the intersection of South 1st Street and East Walnut Avenue will be one lane in all four directions Wednesday morning, May 28th.
Work is scheduled to begin at 6:30 am Wednesday. It is expected to be complete by 12:30 pm.
The traffic signal will be dark during Wednesday morning’s project work hours. It will be replaced with temporary stop signs in each direction.
Lane closures and the signal outage are required so crews can upgrade the traffic signal’s mounting fixtures.
Drivers are reminded to slow down through work zones and to remember the intersection should be treated as a four-way stop while the signal is out.
As always, the schedule for this type of a project is subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies.
Contact Traffic Operations Supervisor Dan Nickoloff at 509-576-6746 for more about the project.
