The City of Grande Prairie is advising drivers of traffic signal maintenance work that will result in signals being turned off at an intersection in downtown GP.
According to the city, the traffic signals at 100th Street and 108th Avenue will be turned off on February 5th, from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. to allow for the installation of new signal infrastructure, and switch to a new power source, which the city says will improve reliability and performance.
During the project, travellers can expect a four-way stop at the intersection, controlled by a temporary stop sign, lane reductions marked with barricades, and flaggers on the site to maintain traffic flow.
The work was purposefully scheduled during off-peak hours to minimize disruptions; however, drivers are urged to exercise caution, follow signage, and allow for extra travel time.
