New Look Traffic Lights – But Be Prepared for Delays

The state has begun an effort to replace traffic lights at locations throughout the community as part of an effort to enhance safety and improve visibility for drivers. These efforts won’t come without some minor delays as work is completed, however.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation is replacing traffic signal LED’s at various intersections within Southington, work that began Sept. 1 and will extend through Oct. 15.


“An alternating one-way traffic pattern using traffic control will be utilized on a daily basis to perform the construction work,” Southington police said on the department’s Facebook page.

“The contractor will not be allowed to interfere with traffic between 6 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. or between 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, nor between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.”
