The streets of Keller are back to their orchestrated hum with traffic signals at the intersection of FM 1709 and Hwy. 377 is now fully operational following a power outage caused by a blown transformer. In a community reminder, the department announced, "Power has been restored and the signals are working normally. Drive safe, y'all!" reassuring residents and travelers alike, as reported by Keller Public Safety's social media post.
Earlier disruptions began when the signals went dark after the said transformer incident, utility crews were dispatched to address the impairment, though they hadn't initially provided a concrete timeline for repairs. The intersection was thrust into a state of temporal flux where every vehicle was momentarily an island navigating the suddenly uncertain turns of right of way.
Keller Public Safety's original post indicated that drivers should treat the intersection as a four-way stop until power can be restored, and they even advised employing alternative routes to circumvent expected congestion.
