DOT to Sync Traffic Lights in Winslow

The Maine DOT intends to update traffic lights at five major intersections in Winslow. According to the KJ, the Department will hold a public hearing on the evening of Sept. 3 to gather community input about the plans. Construction likely won’t start until fall of next year. The updates will be installed at the intersections of Augusta Road and Carter Memorial Drive, China Road and Carter Memorial Drive, Carter Memorial Drive and Cushman Road, China and Cushman roads and Bay and Halifax streets. The intention is to sync the lights at the intersections so they function as a unit. The new system will be interconnected so if one light turns, the others turn in sync. (centralmaine.com)
