HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson Public Works announced Wednesday that Jupiter Hills Drive is now open again between Cherry Hills and Spyglass. While there will be some minor work left, the road is open again. The traffic signals at 3rd and Severance are operating again and most of the street work is done in that area as well. 

The traffic signals at 4th and Severance are still out after a traffic accident earlier this week and will remain out through at least the holidays.

Another important traffic note, the intersection of 9th and Main is now a controlled crosswalk. The crosswalk is the same as the one along East 11th at the Cosmosphere. When the lights are activated, the lights will be yellow and then turn red. After a short time, the lights will flash red. At that time, if there is no pedestrian traffic in the crosswalk, you may proceed through the intersection. 

Both directions of 9th Avenue are now standard stop signs.
