Is it already December 2013?

On November 15, 2012; Techny Road was reopened to both eastbound and westbound traffic, a full year ahead of schedule.  The only remaining major work that still needs to be completed for this project is the installation of the traffic signals at the intersection of Techny Road and Pfingsten Road.  It is currently anticipated that this work will begin around December 10, 2012.  The traffic signals will take approximately 3 to 4 weeks to install and should not affect traffic.
