Traffic Alert: Techny Traffic Light Installation Underway

The following reports were part of a Village of Northbrook weekly memo.

The Village’s contractor, Home Towne Electric, is currently installing new traffic signal posts, mast arms and signal heads at the intersection of Techny and Pfingsten roads. Installation work is expected to be completed by the middle of this week.

The new signal will become operational following the completion of connection by Commonwealth Edison and approval by the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways. Home Towne Electric will remove the temporary signals once the new signals have been brought online. 

Another Village contractor, H&H Electric, replaced 26 light poles on Techny and Founders roads last week. The existing steel poles had deteriorated at the base and have been replaced with aluminum poles that are more resistant to stressors such as road salt. Public Works staff worked alongside the contractor removing signs from the existing poles and reinstalled signs on the new pole.
