Construction Advisory: Traffic Signal at Powell and Hollis
**UPDATED INFORMATION FOR WORK ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7**
As part of the Sustainable Streetscapes project, the traffic signal at the southwest corner of Powell and Hollis Streets is being modified to accommodate the new improvements. One part of this modification is the relocation of the traffic signal poles to their permanent locations.
The City’s Contractor has scheduled the change over of the traffic signal poles to occur on Tuesday, October 7. The signal at Powell and Hollis will be dark and stop sign controls will be in place for all four legs of the intersection during part of this work. Lane closures on Hollis Street between Powell Street and Stanford Avenue will be in effect for part of the day as the work is completed. Follow any detour signage and flagger direction to safely get around the construction area.
Drivers can expect significant delays while traveling through this intersection; consider taking alternate routes if you can. Other intersections on Hollis Street between Stanford Avenue and Park Avenue will continue to be in “flashing mode” until the roadway is paved in early November. We apologize for any inconvenience but thank you for your continued patience and partnership in making our streets safer.
