UPDATE: NEW TRAFFIC SIGNALS AT MARQUIS DRIVE & HIGHWAY 16

The activation of the newly installed traffic signal at the intersection of Marquis Drive and Highway 16 has been rescheduled for later this week. The traffic signal was originally expected to be activated today (August 17), however, City engineers require additional time to make adjustments to ensure the safety and operations of the intersection.

The lights are currently set to flash red so drivers can acclimate to the arrival of the new traffic signals. While they continue to flash red, drivers should treat the intersection as a four-way stop. Additional improvements, such as widening the shoulder of the road, are scheduled to be completed in the near future.

The installation of these new traffic signals is intended to improve safety as development in the area continues to generate more traffic through this intersection.
