The contractor will relocate the traffic signal control box at the intersection of Eldridge Parkway and Memorial Drive to a temporary location to continue with its construction activities.  The controller relocation work will start near 6:00 A.M. tomorrow, Saturday June 22, and should be completed by 10:00 A.M. During the relocation process, the signal might run in all-red mode or it might be switched off and uniformed peace officers will direct traffic.  All other current traffic management measures and movements will remain unchanged.

Construction is still active at this intersection, so please access the intersection with extreme caution, respect all posted signs and follow instructions from police officers on site to ensure safety for all. The best thing you can do tomorrow is completely avoid this intersection until the relocation is complete. Consider using Briar Forest, the I-10 feeder, Highway 6 and Dairy Ashford as alternative routes.

We apologize for this late notice.  Our office was only informed verbally of this relocation yesterday and we still have not received official notification from Public Works.  We feel we could not wait any longer so we are sending this notice now based upon our verbal briefing and current understanding. Council Member Travis made it very clear to the contractor and Public Works that this kind of short notice cannot happen again. We will attempt to give as much notice as possible of major developments in the future.
