Oviedo drivers, get ready to adjust your commute. Starting next Monday, July 15, the city is set to embark on traffic signal upgrades that will have you seeing something a little different as you navigate through East Mitchell Hammock Road. Temporary span wire signals are going to take over the intersections at Alafaya Woods Boulevard and Lockwood Boulevard. The reason? It's time to say goodbye to the old, damaged traffic signal mast arms that have been guiding your way up until now, as per the City of Oviedo press release.
These span wires aren't just any stopgap measure, they're a vital part of ensuring traffic keeps moving smoothly as the much-needed replacement work commences. The City of Oviedo warns residents and commuters alike that these installations are not just a brief interruption. In fact, according to the city announcement, they'll be a fixture for several months as the new mast arms are being meticulously manufactured.
While the aesthetics of the intersections will be temporarily altered, the main goal remains clear: to maintain safety and functionality in the face of necessary change. Motorists are advised to be aware of these temporary settings and to follow any additional signage or signals to ensure their usual commutes are as seamless as possible during this period.
