UPDATE: New traffic signal goes into operation around May 1 on Eagle Road at River Valley Street
BOISE - A new traffic light will be unveiled soon on Eagle Road (Idaho 55) between Fairview Avenue and Ustick Road for River Valley Street.
The Idaho Transportation Department announced that the poles with the new signals will be placed Wednesday and Thursday night (April 11 and 12), with the signal heads covered until they are made operational around May 1.
The Ada County Highway District will be coordinating the signal timing and the contractor will be making final modifications prior to the signals going into operation.
The new light is the result of development for Meridian Town Center on the east side of Eagle Road in that area. The new signal will also benefit River Valley Elementary School, located on the west side of Eagle Road.
The signal will allow safe access to and from the project site and the school.
Idaho Sand & Gravel Co., of Nampa, is doing the work on behalf of CenterCal Properties LLC, the owner of the new development.
