The Florida Department of Transportation announed Monday that at 10AM Tuesday the new traffic signal at the intersection of Fifth Street and San Carlos Boulevard will become fully operational. The light has been flashing since last week to help give drivers the heads up that the new light would be switched on soon.
The new light is part of FDOT’s road construction project that includes a roundabout at the base of the bridge, new sidewalks and landscaping, several pedestrian crossings, two lanes coming over thebridge to the beach and a new traffic light on the other side of the bridge at Main Street.
