Starting Jan. 6, traffic lights will be replaced at each intersection along Nolana Avenue from McColl to Bentsen Road.

Improvements will include replacing small signs and signal heads with brighter ones to ensure visibility during the day and night.

Intersections will not be fully closed but delays are expected. Work at each intersection is estimated to take up to two days.

A total of 13 intersections will be improved and 151 signal heads will be replaced.

Replacements will continue through the beginning of February.
