Signal project on North 22nd to start Monday

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Revisions for the traffic signal system on North 22nd Street and Frederick Avenue will start up on Monday, May 5.

Both sides of Frederick Avenue will be closed as construction begins at 8 a.m. on Monday. The signal system is being replaced and new mast-arm poles will be installed.

"There may be portions of them being worked on throughout the time frame there," Superintendent of Streets and Infrastructure Jackson Jones said. "The poles might be up and the signals might be working, but there will still be restoration work going on, such as new ada corners. It will give the whole intersection a clean, fresh look." 

The current signalized intersections were meant to be temporary solutions and replacements for them have been a frequent item of discussion.

The project is slated to be completed by June 27th, pending weather delays.
