The City of Concord, California, has announced the commencement of the Citywide Traffic System Upgrade Project and the Willow Pass Signal Upgrade Project next week at four different locations, causing minor traffic disruptions. In a recent Facebook post by the City, the upgrades and maintenance work will take place according to the following schedule:
Monday (9/18): Clayton Road at Gateway Boulevard
Tuesday (9/19): Concord Boulevard at Mendocino Drive
Wednesday (9/20): Willow Pass Road at Colfax Street

As a part of the upgrade process, the traffic signals will either be dark or flashing from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. during the workdays, making it essential for residents to be cautious and attentive to the changes in traffic patterns.
