Project Description

This project will construct a new traffic signal on Sparks Boulevard at the Ion Drive / Sawgrass Lane intersection in order to improve safety and traffic operations.

Latest News

The traffic signal is scheduled for activation on Monday, November 9th. There will be intermittent lane closures as crews complete final striping and signal configuration.  Please use caution driving through the intersection as the signal may be in red-flash or completely dark during certain testing periods. Please consider alternate routes to minimize your chance of delays.

Following successful testing, the project will be considered substantially complete. RTC thanks you for your patience throughout the course of construction, and we hope you enjoy the intersection improvements.
