WATERTOWN — On Sept. 11, a signal upgrade project is scheduled to begin at the intersection of U.S. Highway 81 and 14th Avenue North in Watertown. The project will upgrade the current signal system to include protected left turns in each direction at this intersection.

The signal work will be completed with lane closures, which are anticipated to cause traffic impacts at the intersection, especially at peak travel times. Motorists are encouraged to plan accordingly or use alternate routes. Pedestrian access is planned to function as normal.

The primary contractor for this $39,187 project is Engelstad Electric Inc of Watertown. The overall project completion date is Nov. 1.
