RICHMOND, Va. –   The Department of Public Works Transportation Engineering Division will upgrade existing traffic signal equipment and pedestrian accommodations at the following intersections:

• Monument Avenue and Hamilton Street

• Midlothian Turnpike and West Roanoke Street

Work begins May 31 and includes the installation of:

• Traffic signal poles with updated traffic signal heads and retro-reflective backplates
  
  • The new traffic signal heads with retroreflective backplates are more visible in both daytime and nighttime conditions, helping to reduce crashes at the intersections
• Traffic signal controllers
  
  • Upgraded traffic signal controllers and other signal equipment will improve signal operations
• Countdown pedestrian signal heads and push buttons
• Sidewalk accessible curb ramps
• Pavement markings and high visibility crosswalks

During construction, there will be intermittent lane and sidewalk closures.

Weather permitting, this project is scheduled for completion September 15, 2022.

This $1.5 million project is funded through the Central Virginia Transportation Authority (CVTA).
