Signal upgrade project to begin at St. Joseph Avenue and Middleton
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Crews will continue the traffic signal upgrade project, beginning on the Middleton Street and St. Joseph Avenue intersection on Monday, May 19.
Starting at 8 a.m., Middleton Street will be closed on both sides of St. Joseph Avenue as crews work to replace wired traffic signals with mast-arm poles.
The work follows the recent upgrade project on Frederick Avenue and N. 22nd Street.
Traffic on Middleton will be routed along the following detours:
- Eastbound traffic will detour north on Savannah Avenue to highland Avenue, then east on Highland to St. Joseph Avenue.
- Westbound traffic will detour north on Maple Leaf parkway to North Ninth Street and to Grand Avenue, going west on Grand to St. Joseph Avenue.
The work is not expected to impact traffic on St. Joseph Avenue. The approximate cost of the project is $350,000.
Work will include new bases, poles, mast arms and signal heads on all four corners. New ADA curb corners will also be constructed. In addition, a sign at one business at the intersection will be relocated to allow room for a new pole base.
