I-40/Canada Road Interchange traffic signals approved!

The Shelby County Commissioners approved the bid for installing traffic signals at the I-40/Canada Road Interchange at a recent meeting!

This is expected to minimize the congestion and safety hazards at the interchanage.

As soon as the contract is offiically signed, the materials will be ordered, which is expected to take 6-8 weeks.

Due to weather, the contractors schedule and other uncertainities, it is diffiult to predict when the project will be completed. However, I expect the project will be compeleted by early 2010, if not before.

We appreciate the hard work and time of the Shelby County Engineering Department on this and the support of the Shelby County Commission.

The traffic signals are funded by a "congestion grant", which is 100% federally funded.
