Techny Rd. & Pfingsten Rd. Traffic Signals

The permanent traffic signals have been installed at the intersection of Techny Road and Pfingsten Road.  Currently, the Contractor is waiting for ComEd to provide electical power to the traffic signals.  Once electrical power is provided, a final inspection on the traffic signals can be scheduled and then performed.  The final step will be to activate the permanent traffic signals and remove the temporary traffic signals.

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.
