Route 54 Update

Written on: May 31st, 2012 in Route 54

5.31.12 – The contractor is working on pavement striping of symbols, arrows, etc. this week. If they work on Friday it will be under lane shifts and shoulder closures, so that two lanes of traffic can be maintained at all times.

There was a concern this past weekend about the traffic signals not functioning correctly. The detector loops have not been cut into the pavement yet, so the signals simply cycle at pre-set intervals instead of when tripped. We anticipate that the loops will be cut in the pavement the week of June 4, which should correct the issue. Again, if work is performed on Friday it will be under lane shifts and shoulder closures, so that two lanes of traffic can be maintained at all times.

Our Traffic Section will continue to monitor the signals and traffic volumes (just as they did over the holiday weekend) and make manual adjustments to the signal timing as necessary until the loop detection work is complete.

As we move into June, the contractor will be focusing on landscaping, topsoil, and cleaning up the site. There is about two weeks worth of remaining concrete work to be done. This is mostly residential driveways. Again, if they work on Friday it will be under lane shifts and shoulder closures, so that two lanes of traffic can be maintained at all times.
