HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The City of Hutchinson Traffic Division is beginning a comprehensive 5-week-long project aimed at upgrading essential components of the traffic signal located at the intersection of 30th Avenue and Plum Street.

To kick off this project, the traffic signal at the intersection of 30th Avenue and Plum Street will undergo its first phase of maintenance, necessitating a temporary shutdown. The initial phase is scheduled to occur on December 29th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. During this two-hour period, the traffic signal will be turned off, with the Hutchinson Police Department providing traffic direction and control to minimize disruption for motorists and pedestrians.

Over the course of the next 5 weeks, city crews will work to upgrade and replace essential components of the traffic signal. The project will involve the replacement of outdated equipment, wiring upgrades, and detection enhancements to optimize traffic flow and reduce downtime.

These improvements may cause temporary inconveniences, and city staff appreciates the community's understanding and cooperation during this period. The reliability and functionality of the traffic signal system is paramount, and this project will contribute significantly to achieving that goal.

For more information about the ongoing upgrade project or for any questions or concerns, please contact the City of Hutchinson Traffic Division at 620-694-1900.
