TWC - Green Street Crosswalk Improvements

The signal light contractor, Progression Electric, will begin installing an in-pavement lighting system on Green Street / Highway 30 at the Tennessee Wesleyan College pedestrian crosswalk. Individual lanes at this location will be closed at varying times according to necessities of the installation schedule.

This work will begin on: Monday, November 5, 2007 and continue until approximately Friday, November 23, 2007.

Most of the in-road work will be performed during the night between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. to minimize disruptions to motorists. Some work on the roadside may be performed during daylight hours.

Motorists are advised to watch for traffic control devices, pedestrians and work crews / flaggers.

The purpose of this work is the installation of in-pavement lighting. This project will cause overhead, in-pavement and advanced warning lights to flash when a pedestrian approaches the crosswalk. The overhead lights will no longer flash in a continuous mode. Motorists must realize that the flashing lights will now positively indicate the presence of pedestrians in or approaching the crosswalk and yield Right-of-Way to the pedestrians as they cross Green Street.
