On May 23, the Wisconsin DOT made a temporary change to the traffic light on Egg Harbor Rd @ N 14th Ave. The DOT installed a left turn arrow signal at the intersection for westbound traffic having to turn left to go south on N 14th Ave.
This was done in an effort to keep trucks on the designated truck detour route, by allowing trucks ample time to complete their turn safely. There were concerns trucks were not following the detour route when traffic was heavy, as only one truck was able to make the turn at the end of the green light. With the addition of this arrow, the DOT is hopeful that a larger percentage of
trucks will follow the intended truck detour route.
At the completion of the project, the DOT will be restoring the intersection back to its previous configuration and timings. All costs associated with this work are being paid for by the DOT.
